48 Megapixel High Image QualityNAOMI uses the maximum of 192 monochrome CCD sensors. By aligning them densely with our unique technology, NAOMI has achieved to capture the intense concentration of light and generates 48 megapixel image quality. The newly developed high-performance engine displays the image smoothly in 4096 gray scales (12 bit). A single image contains immense data information to be displayed, from soft tissue to osseous part in smoother and deeper levels of contrast.
From 5 seconds - Instant Image DisplaySince it is a retrofit system, it is not necessary to replace x-ray generators, modify the office or redo in-office wirings. It is not associated with any hassles such as developing films or scanning the imaging plate with CR system. It takes seconds from x-ray exposure to image display. There is no more waiting for doctors and patients. The captured images are automatically stored in the computer for easier management of the patients' records.

Calibration
The calibration is the process to correct misalignment and contrast unevenness on each CCD sensor in NAOMI before the first use.There are three calibration processes: Pre-Check, Positioning Calibration and Luminance Calibration.
To set the most suitable sensor sensitivity automatically.
To align each CCD sensor in NAOMI by using the calibration scale.
To adjust each CCD sensor's contrast (brightness level) to create even contrast level on the NAOMI sensor.
Both Positioning and Luminance Calibration have been performed prior to the shipment for immediate use. However, in rare cases, there is a possibility of needs to process the calibration.
Follow the calibration when.... You have reinstalled the software to your computer. The NAOMI sensor got strong shock. and There are misalignment in images.
There are uneven contrast in images.
If Positioning Calibration is required, Luminance Calibration must be performed after Positioning Calibration is completed.Please refer to "Confirm the Necessary Calibration Process" to check which calibration process your NAOMI sensor needs.
In this chapter, it explains the following processes. 1: Pre-Check (Automated Sensitivity Control) 2: Positioning Calibration 3: Luminance Calibration

(Default)
The process of Pre-Check is to measure the radiation dose from your x-ray machine and change the sensor sensitivity automatically so that the NAOMI sensor can be operated in the same environment at the time of the shipment from our facility. Once this process has been completed, the technique on the included irradiation technique chart can apply to your clinic.
