DenOptix QST Intraoral and Extraoral System (Combo) System
Congratulations! Your decision to add the DenOptix QST System to your practice represents
a wise investment for the future of your practice.
The DenOptix QST is a revolutionary product designed to completely replace traditional X-ray
film and film processors. This system, built on phosphor imaging plate technology, offers the
following benefits:
• Diagnostic quality images — every time.
• Lowers the price of dental imaging by eliminating the need for costly film, chemistry and
film processors.
• Imaging plates are reusable.
• Saves critical time vs. using processing systems. DenOptix QST will process 4 bitewings in
under 30 seconds and a FMX will process 20 images in less than 4 seconds per image.
Panoramic images can be obtained in less than 80 seconds. A cephalometric image can
be obtained in less than 80 seconds.
• Significant reduction of X-ray dose as compared to D-speed film.
• It works with your current X-ray generating equipment. There is no need to purchase new
equipment.
• Reduces the hassles associated with the waste stream disposal.
