1. Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1. System Description
EzSensor is a modern digital imaging solution for intraoral dental radiography. Its advanced CMOS
technology provides excellent image quality. For patient comfort, the EzSensor’s ergonomic design is
based on human intraoral anatomy.
EzSensor is a digital X-ray imaging system designed specifically for dental radiography within the oral cavity.
The system captures X-ray images and makes them available for display and storage across your network
of computers.
EzSensor is connected by a ‘USB A-A’ cable (supplied separately) to a compatible Console PC. The
Console PC runs Windows XP or Windows Vista and also provides power for the device.
Support for the EzSensor is provided by compatible software programs such as EasyDent V4. For other
custom applications, a programmer’s guide is available.
The EzSensor includes a detachable holder that can be mounted to a wall or other stable surface.
EzSensor is available in two sizes(1.5 and 1.0). Size 1.0 is suitable for children, while size 1.5 is appropriate
for adult patients.
● Excellent image quality based on advanced CMOS technology
● Optimized sensor shape for human oral structure
● Low-dose performance
● Easy-to-use USB 2.0 interface
