The decision to switch to digital imaging is an easy one. Digital X-rays are quicker, less expensive and more flexible than conventional film. But there’s more to it than that. Digital images also need to be quickly accessible and easy to view. That’s why QSI’s Clinical Product Suite consolidates all digital X-rays and intra-oral images in a comprehensive electronic patient chart. No more searching for lost charts or films. With QSI’s Digital Imaging Module, all historical images for a patient are immediately available with a simple click of the mouse.
Our Digital Imaging Module includes all the hardware and software necessary to capture, maintain and easily access digital X-rays and intra-oral images. Below are just a few of the many benefits your practice will experience with digital imaging.
Digital X-rays
Reduced Costs
Digital X-rays reduce costs by eliminating
many items associated with traditional X-rays, including: film processing
equipment, duplicating equipment, X-ray film, mounts, developer, fixer,
cleaners, and routine maintenance costs. With QSI’s Digital Imaging Module,
technicians utilize your existing X-ray head and control panel, so there
is no costly equipment investment or extensive training involved.
Reduced Patient
Visit Time
Digital X-rays are instantaneous, speeding
the flow of patients through your busy offices. No more waiting for film
processing and no more timely retakes; the time saved could enable your
practice to see more patients each day.
Reduced Patient
Exposure to Radiation
Your patients will prefer digital X-rays
because they are quick and require 80% to 90% less radiation to capture
an image. Simply turn down your existing control panel, use your
existing X-ray head, and a sharp, flawless digital image appears on your
monitor screen.
Comfortable and
Precise Sensors
For maximum patient comfort, digital X-ray
sensors are thin and come in multiple sizes. The sensors can also
be positioned more to the center of the mouth than traditional film, greatly
reducing patient discomfort. The large active imaging area enables
sensors to support general dentistry and specialty X-rays, including full
bitewings.
Improved Diagnostic
Evaluation
Digital X-rays can be enlarged, colorized
and manipulated by the provider to facilitate diagnostic evaluation.
Precise measurement tools are also available for quick, on-line evaluations
of periodontal bone loss or root and file length determinations for endodontic
procedures.
Intra-oral Image
Management
Improved Chart
Accuracy
Intra-oral images provide precise records
of conditions directly in a patient’s electronic chart. Many dental
groups use intra-oral images to supplement insurance claims and satisfy
patient record requirements. Extra-oral cameras can also be used
to photograph patients for identification purposes.
Improved Patient
Education & Increased Treatment Plan Acceptance
Never underestimate the power of visual
presentation. Giving the patient the ability to view close-ups of
problem areas will positively affect their attitudes on oral hygiene and
their decisions on proposed treatment plans. Extra-oral cameras can
also be used to capture smile view images and demonstrate the need for
aesthetic procedures.
Enhanced Communications
and Patient Care
Effective interaction with advanced technology
has the potential to improve provider and patient communications.
Such effective interaction can influence patient attitudes and behavior,
thereby improving outcomes and long-term dental health.
