AMD Lasers, Inc. Unveils Digital Intraoral X-Ray Sensor

AMD Lasers, Inc. (AMD) has announced the release of its latest innovation, the Acuity™ digital intraoral dental x-ray sensor, set to debut at the 2024 Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting on February 22, 2024. According to the press release, this sensor addresses key limitations of existing digital intraoral x-ray sensors.

Addressing Challenges in Dental Practice

The Acuity™ sensor aims to overcome challenges associated with conventional complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors, which often suffer from lower resolution, high cost, bulkiness, and poor reliability. 

Dr. Densen Cao, PhD, President of AMD, highlighted the necessity for improved digital intraoral x-ray sensors, stating, “Clinicians have been searching for lower cost, better image quality, and better liability digital intraoral x-ray sensor for a long time.”

How to choose a dental x-ray sensor

Innovative DXPD Technology

The Acuity™ sensor incorporates direct x-ray photon detection (DXPD) technology, a pioneering approach that directly detects x-ray photons without the need for a conversion crystal layer, as required by CMOS sensors. 

This technology is said to reduce x-ray photon loss during detection, resulting in vastly improved spatial resolution, contrast resolution, dynamic range, and a slimmer sensor profile. 

Moreover, it offers lower acquisition and operating costs, enhancing overall efficiency in dental practices.

Features and Pricing

Available in size 1.5 and size 1 variants, the Acuity™ sensor comes bundled with imaging software and a Twain driver for seamless image transfer to practice management software. 

The introductory prices for the Acuity™ sensor start at $3,499 for size 1 and $4,499 for size 1.5, respectively. Additionally, the sensor includes a standard two-year manufacturing warranty, with extended warranty and product insurance options available for added peace of mind. Cloud storage services for all images are also provided as part of the Acuity™ product offering.

Product: Rolence XR-01 Portable X-Ray Device

Manufactured in AMD’s facility in West Jordan, Utah, USA, the Acuity™ sensor is scheduled to be shipped to customers before the end of Q1, 2024. For more details about the Acuity™ sensor and other innovative dental products from AMD Lasers, Inc.
