Unless otherwise indicated, the instructions included in this manual apply to all models of the hyperion X5 family
(hereinafter referred to as "hyperion X5").
In the following part of this manual, instructions that only apply to the device model hyperion X5 REF. 708G are
identified by the description “Only for 2D machines”.
Instructions that only apply to the device model hyperion X5 REF. 708H are identified by the icon, by the
description “Only for 3D machines” or by both.
EN OPERATOR'S MANUAL 5
1. INTRODUCTION AND INDICATIONS FOR USE
For 2D machine only:
hyperion X5 is an extraoral X-ray system for digital panoramic exams. It is intended to produce orthopanoramic
images of the maxillofacial region and to carry out diagnostic examination on teeth, dental arches and other
structures in the oral cavity.
For 3D machine only:
hyperion X5 is an extraoral X-ray system for digital panoramic exams and tomographies, intended to:
(i) produce orthopanoramic images of the maxillofacial region and carry out diagnostic examination on teeth, dental
arches and other structures in the oral cavity;
(ii) produce tomographic images of the oral cavity and maxillofacial structures and carry out diagnostic examination
on teeth, dental arches, structures of the oral cavity and some cranial bones.
The system performs tomographic exams with the acquisition of X-ray images through a rotating sequence and the
reconstruction of a three-dimensional matrix of the examined volume, thus producing two- and three-dimensional
views of the volume itself. This technique is known as CBCT.
hyperion X5 is a digital X-ray device, suitable for expert professionals, which allows to obtain dental images in a
simple and automatic way. The image is acquired by means of an X-ray detector and a constant potential X-ray
source, powered by a high-voltage and high-frequency generator. The image is then transmitted to a computer in real
time.
USA federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed healthcare practitioner.
hyperion X5 allows the following 2D projections:
- standard or panoramic views for paediatric patients (PAN);
- complete or partial views of the teeth, selected by the user (DENT);
- front and side views of maxillary sinuses (SIN);
- side and posteroanterior views of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), from different angles.
Furthermore, the 3D version machine also allows to acquire tomographic images.
hyperion X5 is intended for use in dentistry, in the following fields:
- endodontics;
- periodontology;
- dental prosthesis;
- functional diagnosis and therapy of craniomandibular dysfunctions;
- dental surgery;
- dental implants;
- maxillofacial surgery;
- orthodontics.
Do not use on patients (children) less than approximately 104 cm in height and less than 19 kg in weight.
These height and weight measurements approximately correspond to that of an average 4 year old.
Use of equipment and exposure settings designed for adults of average size can result in excessive
radiation exposure for a smaller patient. Studies have shown that pediatric patients may be more
radiosensitive than adults (i.e., the cancer risk per unit dose of ionizing radiation is higher), and so
unnecessary radiation exposure is of particular concern for pediatric patients.
Not for use with patients not vigilant and cooperative, since the patient must be able to understand and
follow the operator's instructions for a correct positioning.
6 OPERATOR'S MANUAL EN
Contraindications:
- visualisation of cartilaginous structures;
- the CBCT technique (for 3D machines only) has a limited ability to detect soft tissues.

EN OPERATOR'S MANUAL 13
1.7.5. CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Cleaning is the first step necessary in any disinfection process. The physical action of rubbing a surface with
detergents and surface-active agents and rinsing with water removes a large number of microorganisms. If
a surface is not cleaned first, the disinfection process cannot be successful.
When a surface cannot be adequately cleaned, it should be protected with barriers.
The external parts of the device must be cleaned and disinfected using a product for hospital use with indications for
HIV, HBV and tuberculosis (medium-level disinfectant) specifically for small surfaces.
The various drugs and chemical products used in dentist’s surgeries may damage the painted surfaces and the
plastic parts. The tests and research conducted have demonstrated that the surfaces cannot be fully protected
against attack of all the products found on the market. It is therefore recommended to use barrier protections
whenever possible.
The aggressive effects of chemical products also depend on the time they stay in contact with the surfaces. It is
therefore important not to leave the product on the surfaces of the device for longer than the time indicated by the
manufacturer.
It is recommended to use the specific medium-level disinfectant, STER 1 PLUS (CEFLA S.C.), which is compatible
with the painted surfaces, plastic parts and unpainted metal surfaces. Alternatively, it is recommended to use
products that contain:
- 96% ethanol Concentration: maximum 30 g for every 100 g of disinfectant.
- 1-propanol (N-propanol, propyl alcohol, N-propyl alcohol). Concentration: maximum 20 g for every 100 g of
disinfectant.
- Combination of ethanol and propanol. Concentration: the combination of the two must be at maximum 40 g for
every 100 g of disinfectant.
- Painted surfaces and plastic parts.
- Incidin Spezial (Henkel Ecolab);
- Omnizid (Omnident);
- Plastisept (Alpro) (not tuberculocide as not an alcohol-based disinfectant);
- RelyOn Virkosept (DuPont);
- Green & Clean SK (Metasys) (not tuberculocide as not an alcohol-based disinfectant).
- Do not use products containing isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol, isopropanol).
- Do not use products containing sodium hypochlorite (bleach).
- Do not use products containing phenols.
- Whatever product you use, follow the instructions given by the manufacturer.
- Do not mix the STER 1 PLUS disinfectant with other products.
- Do not spray the product directly on the device surfaces.
For cleaning and disinfection use disposable, soft, non-abrasive
paper (do not use recycled paper) or sterile gauze.
- It is recommended to turn off the device before cleaning and
disinfecting the external parts.
- Everything used for cleaning and disinfection must be thrown
away after use.
14 OPERATOR'S MANUAL EN
1.7.6. HYGIENE PROCEDURES FOR PATIENT PROTECTION
Single-use hygienic protections are the main means of protection against transmission of cross-infections
between patients. In order to prevent transmission of infectious diseases from patient to patient, it is
essential to always use the single-use protections. The single-use protections are classified as Class I
medical device and may not be replaced with others in a lower class.
The single-use protections must be in compliance with the ISO 10993-1 standards on biocompatibility and
approved by the control bodies where required (e.g. FDA, CE).
Always change the disposable protective cover for the bite before using it for a new patient.
The disposable protective covers must be stored in a clean dry place away from direct sunlight and UV rays.
The bite piece and the chinrest can be disinfected by immersing them in a cold sterilising liquid. For
sterilisation of these parts, follow the instructions of the supplier of the sterilising product.
Cover all the components that will come into contact with the hands of the dental staff with disposable
single-use protections, as they might be contaminated by indirect contact with the patient’s mouth. In
particular, be careful how you handle the control console of the device, the mouse and keyboard of the PC.
Prior to positioning patients for any X-ray exposure, always cover the bite block with a new clean non-sterile
plastic barrier, to avoid cross contamination.
Note for users in Canada: ask your trusted dental material distributor for any plastic barrier that is suitable in
size and is marketed in Canada according to the local regulations in force.
According to Health Canada, bite block covers are Class I devices and are distributed by authorised
establishments only, as listed in the MDEL database.

1.8.7. PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION
This system is an X-ray equipment. As such, it exposes patients and operators to risks from radiation. It
must be used in compliance with the safety standards set forth by the radiological protection regulation in
force in the country of use. Following are some of the provisions:
- Control the emission of X-rays exclusively from the control workstation, the exam room must be suitably
shielded (if required by the local regulations in force).
- Make sure that the doors of the X-ray room are closed before starting the exam.
- During the emission, only the patient should stay in the exam room. If it is necessary for the operator to
remain during the exam (e.g. when the patient is not self-sufficient and requires assistance), he/she
must wear protective equipment against scattered radiation and, in any case, no parts of his/her body
should ever be exposed to direct X-ray emission. Patients may not be assisted by pregnant women or
minors.
- During the system's initialisation procedure, nobody is allowed in the exam room and its doors must
remain closed. Authorised personnel must always be present outside the room until the projection is
completed.
- Pay attention not to release the emission button too soon. Please note that during an exposure cycle,
radiation can be emitted several times. Wait for the exposure cycle to be completed.
- Always observe the following points:
- Stay at least 2 metres away from the X-ray source during exposure. For installations in Canada, the
minimum distance is 3 metres.
- All persons that are not directly involved with the patient should stay outside the exam room, or
behind a lead or lead glass shielding during exposure.
- Make sure that the operator is able to communicate with the patient both verbally and visually.
- If required, use a dosimeter for personal monitoring.
- Full use must be made of all radiation protection devices, accessories, and procedures available to
protect the patient and operator from X-ray radiation, especially for child.
1.8.8. APPLIED PARTS
The parts that, during standard use, necessarily come into contact with the patient, so that the device may carry out
its functions correctly, are: chinrest, bite piece and hygienic protections, craniostat and handles.
The non-applied parts that may come into contact with patient are the external covers and the patient arm.
20 OPERATOR'S MANUAL EN
1.8.9. STRAY RADIATIONS
Stray radiation measurement is highly influenced by ambient conditions, such as wall composition and positioning,
therefore, under certain circumstances, the detected values can be significantly different.
The measurement points used are at 0.5 m, 1.0 m and 2.0 m, respectively, from a central rotation axis.
The circular measurement points are determined based on the patient bite position on the machine.

The control panel (console on-board the machine) allows controlling the X-ray device.
The control panel consists of 5 buttons with functions to move parts of the X-ray device (column, craniostat, laser
traces) used to position the Patient.
2 LEDs on the control panel indicate the system status:
RGB LED
If the X-ray device is ready, the green LED is on.
If the X-ray device is on and working, the LED is blue.
If the X-ray device is in standby, the LED is blue and flashing.
If the machine is in error, the LED is red.
The yellow LED on the right comes on when X-ray emission is in progress.
4.2. X-RAY EMISSION REMOTE CONTROL
The system can be equipped with a remote control to activate X-ray emission.
The remote control features:
1) A button to confirm the X-ray emission
2) Two LED lights
a. Green (machine ready for emission)
b. Yellow (X-ray emission in progress)
When the system is Ready (green LED steady-on), you can start X-ray emission by pressing the button on the
remote control and holding it down for the entire duration of the examination.
During the examination, the yellow LED on the remote control turns on and simultaneously an acoustic signal is
emitted.
Button pressed Button released
If the button is released before the examination is completed, the image acquisition will be interrupted.
24 OPERATOR'S MANUAL EN
If the acquisition is interrupted before its completion, the entire portion of analysed tissue will however be shown on
the PC together with an error message.
If the image is exhaustive, even if partial, the examination does not need to be repeated, thus avoiding subjecting the
patient to a further dose of radiation.
In order to comply with the operator safety regulations on ionizing radiation (for clarifications, see paragraph 1.8.7
"Protection against ionizing radiation"), the operator must stand at least 2 metres away from the X-ray device during
emission.
4.3. PERFORM A SIMULATION (DUMMY RUN)
The unit moves when the following operations are performed. The operator must:
- Closely monitor the patient and immediately let go of the button to stop movement if there is a risk of the
device hitting the patient.
- Prevent the patient from assuming incorrect positions (putting hands or other body parts in inappropriate
areas) or moving out of the examination area.
To perform a simulated cycle, a simulation of the projection mode or program selected, but without emission of
radiation (dummy run), hold down the button (CONFIRM).
This button must be held down for the entire cycle, otherwise the movement will stop.
This simulation can be useful for particularly emotional patients, especially children, showing them what the
examination consists of without having to leave them alone in the room.
EN OPERATOR'S MANUAL 25
5. PERFORMING A 2D X-RAY EXAMINATION
The steps to follow to properly perform an X-ray examination are:
1 – Switching on of system and PC where the acquisition driver is installed
2 – Selection of the X-ray examination from virtual control console (PC/iPAD)
3 – Preparation of the X-ray examination
4 – Positioning of the patient (with optional aid of control console on PC/iPAD or its limited version for other mobile
platforms)
5 – Examination execution
6 – Image display and processing
5.1. STARTING THE SYSTEM
Turn the X-ray device on by pressing power button (1) on
the top right-hand side: the console lights up and a beep
sound is emitted.
If the X-ray device is in standby (multicolour flashing LED) press the CONFIRM button to reset the functions.
Before starting exposure, wait for the DRIVER software to be ready (the driver icon on the bottom right-hand
side of the PC turns green)
Once the system and DRIVER are correctly started, the multicolour LED remains steady-on.
Excessive dose on pediatric patient: Use of equipment and exposure settings designed for adults of average
size can result in excessive radiation exposure for a smaller patient. Studies have shown that pediatric
patients may be more radiosensitive than adults (i.e., the cancer risk per unit dose of ionizing radiation is
higher), and so unnecessary radiation exposure is of particular concern for pediatric patients.

5.2. SELECTING THE EXAMINATION FROM THE CONTROL CONSOLE
5.2.1. 2D EXAMINATIONS AVAILABLE
Panoramic examinations (PAN) :
The panoramic standard examinations have the traditional path and angles of the X-ray beam. If the patient is a child,
or very small adult, we recommend to use the child setting for the exposure where the width of the exposed area and
the dose irradiated are reduced. The panoramic pediatric PAN CHILD projection is a subset of the panoramic
standard projection, with a reduced field projection to limit the patient exposure to radiation. To identify a PAN CHILD
projection, select CHILD as the Patient type.
If the patient is a child of less than approximately 104 cm in height and less than 19 Kg in weight that are the
height and weight measurements approximately correspondent to an average 4 year old child, he shall not
be exposed to hyperion X5.
In order to ensure a safe use of the device, specifically in the radiography of children, it is suggested to
consult the general indications described in the guidelines for dental radiographies as i.e. the ones referred
on the website Image Gently (www.imagegently.org), for dental Rx, or even in the FDA website for

3) Vertical Focusing Laser Trace used in PAN, DENT, SIN, TMJ
examinations
Upper horizontal trace (1)
it is generated by a laser projector placed on the X-ray generator side; it can be moved upward or downward to be
adapted to different dimensions, using the suitable lever beside the light opening. This trace is used in PAN and
DENT examinations to ensure that the patient’s Frankfurt plane is horizontal and, more generally, to ensure correct
positioning.
The Frankfurt plane is represented by an imaginary line running from the upper edge of the auditory meatus to the
lower edge of the orbit.
Sagittal vertical trace (2)
it ensures the symmetry of the patient head with respect to the sagittal midline. While observing this trace, it is
necessary to make sure that the patient looks straight ahead to prevent him/her from tilting the head to one side or
from rotating it slightly.
Vertical focusing trace (3)
it indicates the exact position of the focal point; to obtain a good focusing in PAN and DENT examinations, make this
trace coincide with the cusp of the upper canine. This trace is used also to point at the exact position of the condylar
head for TMJ examinations and between the first and second upper molar for SIN examinations.
Each pressure of the CONFIRMATION button will move all the device mobile parts. Make sure NOT to
press the button during the patient positioning and that the device can be safely moved.

5.4.2. PATIENT POSITIONING DESCRIPTION (CRANIOSTAT)
Craniostat components:
1 – Anatomic arches
2 – Bite
3 – Chinrest
The craniostat is equipped, in its upper side, with
anatomic arches that, once the patient is positioned, can
be adjusted and automatically locked by simply pressing
point (A) with your fingers. The arches perform
synchronous movements with each other. To unlock
them, always press area (A).
The craniostat lower area consists of chinrest (3) and bite (2) that can be disassembled as shown in the figure next.
EN OPERATOR'S MANUAL 37
5.4.3. PAN, DENT EXAMINATIONS
1) Adjust the height of the unit to facilitate patient access using the column
up or down movement buttons. The telescopic column moves slowly at
first and then picks up speed. Adjust the height until the bite piece is
slightly higher than the occlusal plane of the patient. As a result, the
patient will have to stretch to reach the bite, thus extending and
straightening his/her neck.
2) Make sure that the bite piece is turned sideways to leave room for the patient. Make sure the bite disposable
protection is fitted.
3) Accompany the patient to the unit so that he/she is in front of the bite and can grasp the large handles. Ask the
patient to rest his or her chin on the chinrest.
4) Ask the patient to take one step forward, while still gripping the handles,
until he/she reaches the position shown in the figure.
5) Adjust the height of the bite piece and turn it inside the mouth, letting the
patient bite on it as shown in the figure. The tip of the upper and lower
incisors must sit in the groove of the bite piece. The interproximal space
of the incisors must be on the median line of the bite piece.
6) The support post can slide up and down, facilitating the proper
positioning of the bite piece.
7) Check the symmetry of the patient’s head using the sagittal vertical trace
as a guide (dotted line) by looking at the mirror.
38 OPERATOR'S MANUAL EN
8) Check the proper positioning of the Frankfurt plane superimposing the
upper horizontal light beam (dotted line). To adjust the patient’s head
inclination, work the column up and down movement buttons. Make sure
that the patient keeps his or her back straight and extended.
9) Ask the patient to smile to uncover the upper teeth. The vertical light beam usually falls between the canine cusp
*.
In case of patient dysmorphia, move the light beam forward or backward towards the canine, by using the
console buttons , in order to optimise teeth focusing.
* the canine can be used as a useful reference to fine-tune the patient alignment, but this is not strictly necessary.
10) Press the CONFIRM button and, just before leaving the room to press the X-ray emission button, ask the patient
to close his or her eyes, swallow and place the tongue against the palate.
5.4.4. TMJ EXAMINATION
5.4.4.1. LATERAL TMJ
1) Remove the chin rest and the bite, and insert the under-nose support.
2) Adjust the unit height, in order to facilitate the patient’s access, using the keys to move the column
upward or downward until the under-nose support reaches the height of the nose base. The telescopic column
will move slowly at first, then it will speed up.
TMJ examinations can be carried out with open mouth or closed mouth by selecting the proper icon on the
control console.
3) Guide the patient toward the unit so that he/she faces
the under-nose support and can grab the wide
handles. The patient will rest the nose base on the
under-nose support, as in the figure.
4) Check the symmetry of the patient’s head using the
sagittal vertical trace as a guide; check the correct
positioning of the Frankfurt plane by overlapping the
upper horizontal light trace, as shown in the previous
figure. If required for the examination and if
necessary, slightly tilt the patient’s head forward to
ease the maximum mouth opening.
5) Once the correct orientation has been found, lock the
craniostat as explained in paragraph 5.4.2.

focusing light trace exactly on the condyle head, as
shown in the figure.
7) Press the CONFIRMATION button and, immediately before leaving the room to press the X-ray emission button,
ask the patient to close his/her eyes and remain still.
5.4.4.2. FRONTAL TMJ
Follow the same steps of the Lateral TMJ examination.
In order to adjust the head inclination, just raise or lower
the unit using the height adjustment buttons.
5.4.5. SIN EXAMINATION
1) Remove the chin rest and the bite, and insert the under-nose special support for sinuses.
2) Adjust the unit height, in order to facilitate the patient’s access, using the keys to move the column
upward or downward until the special support for sinuses reaches the height of the nose base. The telescopic
column will move slowly at first, then it will speed up.
3) Guide the patient toward the unit so that he/she faces
the under-nose support and can grab the wide
handles. The patient will rest the nose base on the
special support for sinuses, as in the figure.

upper premolar.
7) Press the CONFIRMATION button and, immediately before leaving the room to press the X-ray emission button,
ask the patient to close his/her eyes and remain still.
5.5. ACQUISITION OF THE EXAM
- Visually check that the patient is correctly positioned and that the central green LED on the X-ray remote control
is steady on.
- Ask the patient not to move during the examination and to breathe slowly and regularly. For panoramic (PAN)
projections, ask the patient to swallow just before X-ray radiation exposure (so that the tongue is up against
palate).
- Have anyone not necessary move away from the area exposed to radiation and, where required, stand behind
the special protection.
- Press the X-ray button on the remote control and
hold it down for the entire duration of the
examination. The examination time is determined by
the intermittent yellow LED on the X-ray remote
control device. X-ray emission is signalled by an
acoustic signal.
The X-ray device emits rays to acquire the images only if its status is Ready, i.e. when the green LED on the
control console and on the remote control is on. It may occur that, as a result of the user or of the X-ray
device error, the device does not indicate that it is ready and X-rays can hence not be emitted. Correct the
error (see the chapter Error Messages) and press the CONFIRM button.

6. 3D TOMOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION (CB3D)
Only for 3D machines
The CBCT exam consists in the three-dimensional reconstruction of an X-rayed anatomical region, which produces
both two-dimensional views and three-dimensional representations that are generated by a software on a workstation
(PC).
Instructions about image processing can be found in the iRYS software user manual.
Remember to change the disposable protective covers before positioning a new patient.
Before positioning the patient, make sure all metal items worn have been taken off such as eyeglasses,
movable prosthesis, earrings and any other removable metal items present at head level. If an apron is used
for protection against radiation, make sure the patient’s neck is not covered. If it is, an area will not be X-
rayed.
6.1. SELECTING THE EXAMINATION FROM THE CONTROL CONSOLE
The 3D exam can only be performed if the X-ray device is connected to a PC where the iRYS software is
installed.
1) Turn the PC on and run the iRYS program .
2) Upon the first start of each day, the daily control procedure (Daily Check) has to be completed before any 3D
exam can be started. This daily check is a service procedure with X-ray emission that has to be performed
WITHOUT THE PATIENT.
3) For instructions, please consult the "Acquisition Operations" section of the iRYS manual.
The patient must not access the X-ray device during the exam selection and the device reset operations.

acquired images for all modes, alongside a reduced scanning time for the Hi-Res modes and for the fields of
view with a diameter of 8 cm and 10 cm in standard mode.
Thanks to these characteristics, the Eco Scan option is especially recommended in place of the Regular
Scan mode for pediatric patients.
EN OPERATOR'S MANUAL 49
6.2. POSITIONING THE PATIENT FOR 3D EXAMINATIONS
Only for 3D machines
1) After preparing the X-ray device, let the patient in.
2) Adjust the height of the motorised column with the buttons to facilitate patient access. The column
must reach the height of the patient.
3) The patient must grip the handles with both hands and
stand straight.
4) During 3D examinations, the patient's head must be
positioned in one of these 3 positions: right-hand,
central or left-hand. The right-hand or left-hand
position is fundamental to centre the field of view in
the lateral anatomical districts. Such positioning is
reached by manually moving chinrest and craniostat
in the desired direction.
A position detector on the chinrest will indicate whether the chosen position is correct for the selected
examination. If it is incorrect, the software will not allow to continue the examination until a correct position is
reached.
5) Use the lateral laser guides to obtain the desired
patient alignment.
6) Place the patient's head using the frontal laser beam as
a guide since it identifies the sagittal plane passing
through the centre of the selected FOV.
7) Go to the PC workstation.
6.3. PERFORMING THE EXAMINATION
Follow the instructions for the acquisition operations described in the iRYS manual to complete image acquisition.
Refer to “Extended View” mode for the acquisition with fields of the Extended View type.

6.4. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR CBCT EXAMINATIONS WITH CHILDREN OR SMALL PATIENTS
The hyperion X5 device has been specifically designed for patients that are more than 104 cm in height and more
than 19 Kg in weight. These height and weight measurements approximately correspond to that of an average 4 year
old.
Before performing CBCT examinations on pediatric patients, it is necessary to consider their increased sensitivity to
ionizing radiation. It is due to many factors, such as: a longer life expectancy compared to adult patients, a higher
cancer risk per dose unit of ionizing radiation and the impact that such radiation could have on organs which are still
developing.
A CBCT exam has only to be performed if it is strictly necessary to solve a medical problem, using protocols that
include the minimum effective dose to obtain an adequate image quality (according to the ALARA principle, "As Low
As Reasonably Achievable"). We recommend not to perform repeated CT studies on children, unless they are
essential to reach a diagnosis. Before carrying out an X-ray examination, all indications and the medical history of the
patient must be carefully examined.
It is possible to use hyperion X5 on children and small patients, within the limitations described in the indications for
use. To that end, the available functions are:
fields of view with reduced dimensions, e.g.: 6x6 (volume diameter 6 cm, height 6 cm), 6x7, 8x6, 8x7;
Eco Scan mode, a low-dose protocol having a scanning time shorter than or equal to the default mode (6.4s-9.6s
in standard mode, 11.2s in Hi-Res mode);
automatic calculation of the minimum effective X-ray parameters for the examination, based on the size and
density of the examined volume (MRT technology);
before the scan, indication of the dose values selected by the software;
possibility of performing the exam with the patient in a seated position, in order to limit movement risks;
adjustable craniostat to secure the patient's head.
Furthermore, we recommend to take all the necessary steps to reassure the child before starting the acquisition
procedure. The immobility of the patient is crucial to obtain an adequate image quality.
EN OPERATOR'S MANUAL 51
7. VIEWING AND SAVING
In order to view and save an examination, a PC is required.
The X-ray system is supplied with the iRYS program for viewing and saving the examinations. Please refer to the
iRYS user manual.
The use of iRYS is essential for the acquisition of tomographic examinations, because it includes the volumetric
image reconstruction technology (only for 3D machines).
If you need to send the X-ray examination to the patient or another operator, iRYS automatically guides you in
creating a DVD that will include a redistributable copy of iRYS for image viewing (iRYS Viewer).
Alternatively, you can export only the X-ray images in a standard format (DICOM 3.0) so that they can be viewed with
third-party programs.
