PreXion3D Explorer EX — clinical-grade CBCT, fully mobile.
A US-manufactured, dental-focused cone beam CT system with sub-millimeter voxel resolution, housed in a purpose-built mobile imaging suite.
PreXion3D Explorer EX overview
The PreXion3D Explorer EX is a latest-generation cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system manufactured in the United States and designed specifically for dental and maxillofacial imaging. It combines sub-millimeter voxel resolution with multiple field-of-view (FOV) modes, making it suitable for a broad range of clinical applications from single-tooth endodontics to full-face airway analysis.
The unit is certified for use in the United States. Scan specifications, dose values, and voxel sizes are subject to manufacturer documentation and may vary depending on the selected protocol.
Field-of-view (FOV) options
The PreXion3D Explorer EX supports four standard FOV modes. The technologist selects the appropriate FOV based on the clinician's prescription and the ALARA principle (as low as reasonably achievable). Smaller FOVs produce lower dose and higher resolution for the captured volume.
| Mode | FOV (W x H) | Typical clinical use |
|---|---|---|
| Teeth (limited) | 5 × 5 cm | Endodontics, single-tooth implant |
| Arch (standard) | 10 × 10 cm | Full-arch implant planning, orthodontics |
| Full (extended) | 15 × 8 cm | Full-arch All-on-X, bilateral TMJ |
| Face (maxillofacial) | 15 × 16 cm | Airway, sinus, pathology, facial trauma |
Voxel resolution
Depending on the selected protocol, the PreXion3D Explorer EX produces voxel sizes ranging from approximately 0.07 mm in high-resolution endodontic mode to 0.30 mm for full-face maxillofacial scans. Sub-millimeter resolution is maintained across all standard clinical modes.
Specifications are subject to manufacturer documentation. Actual voxel size, scan time, and dose may vary depending on FOV, scan mode, and clinical protocol selected by the technologist.
DICOM output and viewer compatibility
All scans are exported in open-format DICOM 3.0, the universal standard for medical imaging. DICOM files are delivered to your practice via encrypted Google Drive link or your preferred secure transfer method within 15 minutes of scan completion.
DICOM files from the PreXion3D Explorer EX are compatible with the following viewers and planning platforms, among others:
If your practice uses a DICOM-compatible viewer not listed above, the standard DICOM 3.0 format ensures broad compatibility. Contact us if you need to verify support for a specific platform.
Mobile imaging suite
The PreXion3D Explorer EX is permanently installed in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter custom-fitted mobile imaging suite. The suite is purpose-built for CBCT acquisition and includes:
- Lead-lined imaging room meeting radiation shielding standards
- Climate-controlled patient space (heated and cooled year-round)
- Sterile surfaces and infection-control protocol between patients
- Dedicated on-board power supply for consistent imaging performance
- ARRT-certified CT technologist on board for every appointment
The suite parks at or adjacent to your clinic. Patients step out of your waiting room, complete the scan, and return — typically within 20 minutes total.
Clinical use cases
The PreXion3D Explorer EX supports imaging for a broad range of clinical indications, subject to clinician prescription. Common use cases include:
