March 25, 2024 – At the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, Germany, Nuraytech, a subsidiary of Nuctech, unveiled its groundbreaking intraoral X-ray 3D imaging solution. This innovation, driven by proprietary core technologies, addresses long-standing technical challenges in dental imaging and redefines industry standards for clinical diagnostics.

Overcoming Technical Barriers

Dental X-ray imaging has long faced hurdles in upgrading core components such as X-ray tubes, detectors, and high-voltage power supplies. Nuraytech’ solution introduces a carbon nanotube “cold cathode” distributed X-ray source, a breakthrough that eliminates the need for preheating while enabling instant activation and precise control. Leveraging carbon nanotubes’ exceptional conductivity and field emission properties, the technology significantly reduces power consumption and radiation exposure.

The system’s vacuum chamber integrates multiple X-ray focal points within a single compact structure, enabling rapid sequential exposure for multi-angle scanning and high-resolution 3D imaging—all from a device comparable in size to traditional dental X-ray units.

Clinical and Operational Advancements

Efficiency: The portable design supports chairside 3D imaging, completing multi-angle scans in as little as 1 second, streamlining workflows for dental professionals.

Diagnostic Precision: The solution detects subtle pathologies—including occlusal and proximal caries, root fractures, and calcified canals—with imaging quality surpassing 2D systems at comparable radiation levels.

Reliability: Engineered with ultra-high vacuum technology, the X-ray source ensures stable performance under high-frequency clinical use, minimizing maintenance demands.

Currently undergoing regulatory certification, the solution has entered clinical testing across multiple dental institutions. Its commercial launch is expected to reshape dental imaging practices worldwide, offering a balance of advanced diagnostics, operational efficiency, and patient safety.

By integrating cutting-edge hardware with user-centric design, Nuraytech aims to transition 3D imaging from specialized applications to routine clinical use, empowering dental professionals to deliver higher standards of care.
