Featuring a large gantry aperture, the NewTom 7G is the most advanced CBCT device on the market. From in-depth detail to the big picture.
NewTom CBCT imaging now draws on fresh energy.
As of today NewTom 7G incorporates the Dual Energy (DE) system, elevating performance to new heights and revolutionising the way your practice operates.
Dual Energy: patented NewTom technology
The result of a continuous quest for patient well-being and ever-greater diagnostic precision, Dual Energy uses two different radiant energies to identify any pathologies with greater clarity and precision.
Virtual Monochromatic Images
Dual Energy technology mitigates beam-hardening artifacts. What’s more, being able to reconstruct monochromatic virtual images at different keVs improves soft tissue imaging quality and reduces metal artifacts. Lastly, Dual Energy CBCT provides a basis for tissue characterisation.
Colour-coded images
NewTom Dual Energy software enables users to perform semiautomatic tissue segmentation and apply colour codes, streamlining the differentiation of materials within the scanned area. This allows rapid and straightforward detection of potential pathologies.
Blended image
The new features enable weighted blending of high- and low-energy imaging. The resulting images combine the low noise, typical of highenergy acquisition, with the high contrast resolution of the low-energy image set.

‘We know that tissue samples cannot be taken regularly, but liquid biopsy is easy to take, it is simply a sample of blood. And it gives you real-time information.’
‘Even low levels of ctDNA could have given an indication of the coming progression in the follow-up.’
‘There is much more diagnostic power in the absolute quantification.’
