Hand-Held X-Ray Device Making Dental Scans Easier

A technician in a Salt Lake dental clinic takes X-rays using a new-generation hand-held device. She doesn’t leave the room but simply stays with the patient and pushes the button.

The unit’s lead-lined acrylic ring absorbs any scattering that may flash back from the teeth. The digital images appear instantly on a screen behind the patient. Instead of the bulky fixed X-ray in every room, the hand-held device can be carried from room to room. The whole setup is easier and safer for all concerned.
