OREX Ltd. is a market innovator in the field of portable Computed Radiography Technologies—
designed and priced for low-volume clinic or field unit needs.
Founded in 1995 under the name of Digident, the company initially entered the market of desktop
dental radiography providing high quality, portable CR reading units for dental and orthodontic
professionals around the world. The secret of Digident/OREX’s rapid success lies in the best cost-
performance ratio on the market.
OREX designs, manufactures and markets phosphor image laser scanners. These units replace the
traditional x-ray film and light box. The scanners allow the user to immediately read the x-ray image
from the phosphor plate, and transfer it to a DICOM 3 compatible digital computer file. Once
transferred, users can manipulate the digital image for close-up screening, or transmit it for long-
distance consultation. After each scan, the phosphor plates are automatically erased by the unit, ready
for re-use.
OREX provides clients with a full solution including phosphor image plates, laser readers, software
for image processing, storage, retrieval and communication in Picture Archiving and
Communications System (PACS) compatible format.
The company’s mission is to become a leading provider of compact personal CR systems. Following
the successful penetration of the global dental market, the company changed its name from Digident
to OREX and expanded its markets and product lines to serve the dental, medical, military, industrial
and veterinary fields.
“We are committed to assisting our customers in obtaining maximum value from
OREX products by providing excellent support at exceptional value.”

Maintain the room temperature between 18ºC and 30ºC, normal
lab conditions; relative humidity 80%, non-condensing.
3.5.2 Light
The PcCR 1417 is sealed and protected from light penetration.
However, it is recommended to keep the PcCR 1417 in standard
room light, away from the window.
The PcCR 1417 uses phosphor plates for acquiring images. The
phosphor plates are sensitive to light, and therefore exposure to
light should be kept to a minimum. The phosphor plates should be
exposed to light only when they move from the cassette into the
PcCR 1417 scanner.
For optimal results, room light is recommended at less than 1000
Lux.
