Backscatter

Protection Zone
Safe for handheld use
The external backscatter shield and internal radiation
shielding are specially designed to protect the operator
from radiation exposure. In fact, the exposure from using
NOMAD is orders of magnitude less than exposure allowed
by the FDA. NOMAD radiation exposure is actually less than
1% of the allowed occupational doses. NOMAD is safe!

3.65 mSv Yearly Background Exposure from Normal Activities

.65 mSv Yearly Exposure Using NOMAD with D-Speed Film

.26 mSv Yearly Exposure Using NOMAD with a Digital Sensor

Radiation exposure using NOMAD, in millisieverts (mSv), is shown for

clinical scenario with one operator doing 7,500 x-rays per year.

Highest quality
images and lowest
patient dosage
It has been clinically shown that NOMAD
produces diagnostic-quality x-rays and Depth and placement Placement of implant Implant placement following sinus lift
check during implant after surgery
will work equally well with both film and procedure
digital imaging media. NOMAD provides
all the benefits of DC performance: highest
quality images and lowest patient dosage.
NOMAD’s high-frequency, 60kv DC x-ray
generator provides constant radiation
output. This improves image quality while
reducing the dose to the patient relative to
traditional half-wave (AC) generators.

NOMAD ™

Handheld X-Ray
Now, you can safely take quality images with
a truly portable handheld x-ray—
Anytime...Anyplace!
This will change the way you practice dentistry
in many positive ways.

• Economical– One NOMAD can easily do the work of

multiple conventional wall-mount x-ray systems in clinical use
and it is unequalled for field work.

• Truly Portable– Weighing only 8 lbs, the battery-

powered NOMAD offers true portability with cordless opera-
tion and freedom from line voltage fluctuation. NOMAD can
easily take more than 100 exposures on one battery charge.

• Improves Quality and Workflow– Now take an

x-ray anytime during a procedure for verification. You’ll have
more diagnostic information when you need it. You’ll practice
better dentistry! NOMAD gets the x-ray to the patient, not the
patient to the x-ray­— you don’t even leave the room! This
improves work flow and saves time.
“It’s so easy to use and it saves time!”
• Easy to Use­– The only input you need is the exposure
time, entered through the user-friendly digital control panel.
It’s easier for you and more comfortable for the patient. The
ease of use and time savings is especially effective with
children.

• Works Wherever You Go– NOMAD is perfect for

traveling humanitarian/mobile dentistry with minimal equip-
ment and facilities.

Using NOMAD is quicker and more comfortable for

the patient.
