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.

Birthing couches: Versatile Medical Equipment for Natural Birth Positions

Birthing couches are adaptable medical aids equipped with additional features that support physiological positions during childbirth. They help women relax more easily and choose the position that feels most natural at any given moment.

These specialized pieces of equipment are designed for use during childbirth, allowing women to adopt various positions that are both physiological and comfortable. Birthing couches are crafted to promote the physiological process of labor while enhancing the comfort of the birthing woman. They also enable close proximity to a partner or companion.

Birthing couches are commonly utilized in maternity wards that prioritize physiological birthing practices and value the comfort of the mother.

The LINDU Medical Birthing Couches features armrests and a range of accessories. It is foldable and portable. The couch is covered with a two-layer medical-grade material with certified quality, bonded seams, and foam padding. It is fully disinfectable to meet the needs of hospitals and maternity wards. The material is flexible and pleasant to the touch.

Additional components of the couch come in various shapes, are refillable, and can be supplemented as needed.

The positions in which women give birth are not just a result of the physiology and function of the female body and the birth process. They are influenced by the culture we live in, the images and understanding of birth that we have and, of no less importance, by the training of midwives and medical professionals. It is time to base our care on evidence and facts.

Benefits of vertical birth positions

• Active vertical positions support the natural biomechanics of labour, which means less complications and healthier both, baby and mother.

• The foetus has more room to rotate in the birth canal as there are increases in most pelvic measurements.

• Labour is shorter and less painful.

• Due to evidence, it is more beneficial to move and change birthing positions than to stay in one specific position.

Currently, over 50% hospitals in the Czech republic and 6 in Slovakia are equipped with birthing couches and have undergone the implementation workshop on active vertical birth and practical couch care guidance.

‘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.’
