High-Resolution Imaging forDiagnostics in Orthodontics
Our Mandibula 15-Channel Dental Coil is a multi-element receive array and positioning system for three-di-mensional (3D) high-resolution dental and maxillomandibular MRI images. Also it ensures maximum patient comfort due to its design and accessories like a patient rest pillow, an open-mouth fixation mechanism and a both direction mirror.
Additional application areas for the NORAS Mandibula 15-Channel Dental Coil are:
• Orthodontia (instead of x-ray)
• Diagnostics of the jaw joint
• Imaging of periodontium and dental pulp
• Implantology
• Imaging of nerves (foramen mentale)
• Bone density (compacta, spongiosa)
• Forensics (age estimation through wisdom tooth)
• Maxifacially imaging (e.g. search for tumors)
• Larynx
• Inflammation
