Dual Energy: the new frontier of CBCT imaging
The NewTom 7G Dual Energy system uses two different radiant energies to capture complementary image sets of the same anatomical area - improving diagnostic accuracy and tissue characterisation.
This innovative approach allows the chemical composition of tissues to be characterised, improving tissue distinction between cortical bone, trabecular bone and soft tissues.
Quantitative tests show a marked improvement in HU accuracy, contrast resolution, and image homogeneity compared to single-energy scans. Additionally, advanced algorithms automatically correct movement-induced artifacts, ensuring superior image quality even in challenging conditions.
Thanks to the dedicated software, energy levels can be selected in real time to obtain detailed and customised information during viewing. Virtual monochrome images (VMI) and colour-coded images facilitate tissue segmentation and timely disease identification.

Advanced functions
NewTom 7G uses pulsed emission CBCT technology to generate ultra high resolution volumetric images, with native isotropic voxel and minimal artifacts. Cone beam scanning reduces the area of exposure to radiation and lowers costs compared to traditional MSCT systems.
2D and 3D scans and functions
NewTom 7G uses CBCT technology for the imaging of several anatomical areas, both in 3D with multiple FOVs, and in 2D, spanning a wide range of clinical applications.
The resulting scans are useful in several specialties ranging from Orthopedics (MSK), Otolaryngology (ENT), Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery to General Radiology and precision medicine.
7G can perform different types of exam, including scans with intra-articular contrast agents (e.g. arthrograms with Cine-Scout positioning).
The innovative Ray2D, Cine-Scout and CineX features expand the diagnostic possibilities of NewTom 7G, ensuring detailed and customised analyses of anatomical structures.
Ray2D offers a preliminary two-dimensional assessment, ideal for 3D exam planning. It allows images to be captured from different angles, providing a complete and accurate view of anatomical districts before volumetric scanning.
The CineX serial radiography feature allows for real-time analysis of moving anatomical structures - which makes it particularly useful for evaluating joint mobility. This feature is essential to identify any joint dysfunctions in an accurate and dynamic way.

Optimal lying-down position
The motor-driven patient table allows to adapt the examination to any image acquisition need with the patient lying down in a prone or supine, cranial-caudal or caudal-cranial position.
The fully adjustable motor-driven patient table also ensures correct alignment of the fields of view (FOVs) and reduces movement-induced artifacts, improving the quality and accuracy of each examination, especially in pediatric, elderly or trauma patients.
The NewTom 7G motor-driven patient table can also accommodate overweight patients, thanks to its superior load capacity (max 215 kg).
The open gantry facilitates access, reducing anxiety and claustrophobia, while upper limb examinations can be performed with the patient seated opposite the table.
Throughout the various stages of the examination, patients are monitored via the on-board video camera and an intercom establishes a reassuring line of direct communication with the operator that can also be used to give patients instructions when necessary.
