3D Accuitomo 80
3D X-ray
The 3D Accuitomo 80 offers a minute voxel size of just 80 µm (micrometer). This super-fine voxel combined with the unit's 13 bit grayscale capability displays an amazing level of clarity never before seen in the world of 3D imaging – all with a very low effective dose. This new model also offers an expanded field of view, up to 80 x 80 mm.
3D Accuitomo 80 utilizes a highly sensitive flat panel detector. It creates a wide dynamic range which produces many grayscale values for visualizing both hard and soft tissue areas with a subtle spread of contrast. These images display a high degree of clarity and enable comprehensive examination for diagnosing apical lesions, TMJ problems, caries, and treatment planning for implants, surgery, restorative procedures, etc.
Zoom Reconstruction is another feature unique to 3D Accuitomo 80. It can generate a high resolution image from the original scan without retaking the image, saving time and protecting the patient from additional and unnecessary radiation exposure.

FEATURES
- Super high resolution, 80 µm voxel
- Low effective dose - exposure time is approximately 18 sec. and the effective dose is only about 1.6 times* as high as that of the panoramic X-ray with film exposure and 1/7** the CTDIw value of a conventional CT
- Zoom Reconstruction – no need to retake images
- 13 bit grayscale
- High definition 3D images with low patient dose
- Scan time - 18 sec. or less 360° scan; 9 sec. or less 180° scan
- One Data Viewer – 3D images can be viewed on any computer without special software
- Volume rendering function
- Intra-clinic network compatibility
- Compact: 63-3/4” x 47-1/4”
- FOV: ø 40 × H 40 mm, ø 60 × H 60 mm, ø 80 × H 80 mm
* Effective dose is calculated in accordance with the ICRP 2007 Draft for exposure of the Mandibular Molar Region with Morita’s recommended loading factor (80 kV, 3 mA, ø 40 mm H 40 mm). Comparison is to the Veraviewepocs film (75 kV, 8 mA, 16 sec).
** CTDIw value measurement is made according to IEC 60601-2-44 with Morita’s recommended loading factor. The comparison is to the reference CTDIw value for the maxillofacial and parallel sinus indicated in ICRP Pub. 87 Appendix A (ø 40 mm H 40 mm).
3D Accuitomo Testimonial
Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan
J. Morita's Accuitomo CBCT machine has been an amazing addition to my practice of Endodontics in many respects--some of them expected, and many of them unexpected, but very pleasantly surprising.
Initially, I was non-plussed by the smaller field of view available with the Accuitomo, but now I understand it to be one of it's greatest advantages. First off, the absorbed radiation is remarkably small, allowing me to scan at-will without concern for my patient's health being challenged. This allows me to do my best diagnosis and treatment planning with a full 3-D view of anatomic structures and their attendant pathoses. Second, the resolution of the reconstructions is on a par with very tight conventional periapical film images. Compare every other CBCT image to the images from the Accuitomo machine and the deal is done for Endodontists.
The other issue for me is that the real-world realm of three-dimensional clinical imaging has blown my mind. Conceptually it is easy to understand the advantages. I have been doing anatomic and instrumentation research with industrial mCT imaging since 1986. But seeing this amazing technology delivered to the clinical environment is the difference between hearing about quantum physics theories and experiencing time travel to meet your ancestors and to see your great, great grandkids 100 years in the future.
In the real world of clinical practice, the Accuitomo has allowed me to differentiate between apical lesions and incisive canal cysts, to see spiral vertical fractures in roots that cannot be seen on conventional radiographs or clinically probed, to see the full bloom of internal/external resorption and know that you can save this tooth, to confirm or deny the presence of fourth canals in upper molars and literally measure their distance from the MB1 canal so you know where to drill, to visualize the periodontal lesions surrounding endodontically-involved roots in a volumetric format so that you can more accurately determine prognoses for that case.
It is literally an unfair advantage in Endodontic practice. Remarkably, I cannot tell you how many reconstructions I've seen (a lot of them), where the ideal PA film shows no lesion and the Accuitomo shows obvious endodontic pathosis.
And, as an endodontist who now does implant surgery, I can now scan and treatment plan an implant case, have a computer-generated stereo- lithography drill guide made, a provisional crown made, and know-- without doubt--exactly where the implant is going to end up in my patient's jaw. This makes prosthodontists very happy. That makes me very happy.
I would never practice Endodontics or Implant Surgery again, without J. Morita's Accuitomo CBCT machine in my practice.
ø 40 × H 40 mm image is suitable for 90% of all cases while keeping patient dose to a minimum.
ø 80 × H 80 mm image allows for a full mouth examination.
High Resolution Maintained, Even When Image Area is Increased
From a narrow image area (ø 40 × H 40 mm) to a wide image area (ø 80 × H 80 mm), high resolution is maintained with no distortion even as the image is expanded.
Resorption of alveolar bone was seen in the periapical region of the maxillary first and second molars. By specifying the area of interest and performing zoom reconstruction (80 μm voxel), a more detailed examination was completed.
Zoom reconstruction
Provides high resolution, 80 μm voxel size, 3D images of any region of interest. This allows for a comprehensive examination and diagnosis. There is no need to retake images since all data has already been acquired.
