Here’s a detailed look at some of the best CBCT units available through Voxel  Dental in 2026, what to evaluate when buying, and how to pick what’s right for your practice. ## What to Look for in a CBCT System When evaluating CBCT systems, focus on: - **Field of View (FOV) options** – From small ROI to full‑arch/craniofacial coverage. - **Voxel size / resolution** – Lower voxel size = better detail, especially for implants. - **Scan time & radiation dose** – Faster scans and lower dose are better for patients and workflow. - **Software features** – Planning modules for implants, airway, ortho; metal‑artifact reduction; segmentation. - **Workflow integration** – Compatibility with your scanner, CAD/CAM, implant planning software. - **Support & footprint** – Space required, service, training, warranty. - **Budget & ROI** – CBCT systems are significant investments; choose one that aligns with your practice goals. ## Top CBCT Models for 2026 Here are some standout machines available from trusted dental equipment sources, with strong features for full‑arch, implant, orthodontic, and general use: ### Rayscan Vision 16 / 18 / 20 - **Free‑FOV capability**: Vision models allow adjustable volumes, for example Vision 16 supports FOVs from ~4×3 cm to 16×10 cm. - The Vision 18 model supports FOVs up to 18×16 cm, making it viable for full‑arch, sinus, airway, ortho and implant workflows. - Vision 20 expands that further, e.g., adjustable FOV up to 20×20 cm for large craniofacial imaging. - **Why it stands out**: Customizable FOV means you can tailor exposure for small ROIs or full‑arch/ortho cases; strong for practices doing mixed indications (implants, ortho, airway). ### Vatech Green X Series - The Green X system offers **multi‑FOV selection**, from small regions (4×4 cm) up to large volumes (e.g., 16×11 or 18×15 cm) depending on configuration. - Exceptional resolution—for example the 4×4 cm mode can reach voxel sizes around 0.05 mm. - Fast scanning times: e.g., 2.9 sec for 5×5–8×8 cm volume; 9.0 sec for 12×9–18×15 cm modes. - **Why it stands out**: Excellent image quality and flexibility; great option for practices expanding into implants, full‑arch, or ortho with high‑resolution needs. ### Carestream CS 9600 CBCT - Large‑FOV system capable of full arch, TMJ, airway, orthognathic imaging. - High resolution with multiple selectable FOVs (up to 16×17 cm) for complete diagnostics. #### i‑CAT FLX V17 - FOV: Options up to ~23 × 17 cm (V17 model) with smaller FOVs available for targeted scans. - Key features: Adjustable scan heights, low‑dose protocols, “open platform” DICOM export, seated patient positioning. - Ideal for: Practices that do a mix of implants, orthodontics, airway studies and want large‑volume flexibility. #### DEXIS OP 3D LX - FOV: Ranges from 5×5 cm up to 15×20 cm in some configurations. - Key features: Large sensor, single‐pass non‐stitched scans, metal artifact reduction (MAR), implant contrast enhancer (ICE), AI‑assisted workflows. - Ideal for: Practices wanting a “one machine” solution for panoramic, ceph, and full CBCT with scalable upgrade path. - Investment: Mid-to-high tier depending on options and FOV. ### Models Worth Mentioning - **Acteon X‑MIND Optima 3D**: Medium FOV option with less cost entry. - **PreXion 3D Evolve**: High precision implant‑oriented scanner, useful for lab/practice workflows requiring high detail. ## Quick Comparison Table | Model | Max FOV / Speciality | Strengths | | --- | --- | --- | | i‑CAT FLX V17 | Up to ~23 × 17 cm (V17) | Broad coverage (implant + ortho + airway) | | DEXIS OP 3D LX | Up to 15 × 20 cm | Scalable, all‑in‑one imaging platform | | Rayscan Vision 16/18/20 | ~4×3 cm to ~20×20 cm volumes | Flexible FOV at value pricing | | Vatech Green X | ~4×4 cm to ~18×15 cm | High‑res, implant/full arch optimized | ## Final Thoughts: Matching Needs to Machine - If you need **versatility** for implants, ortho, airway, and full‑arch—that’s a strong case for **Rayscan Vision** or **Vatech Green X**. - If you’re focusing primarily on **implantology and high precision**, go with options that emphasise voxel size and resolution (e.g., Green X or PreXion). - For **ortho‑heavy or full arch workflows**, ensure the unit offers large FOVs and appropriate software modules such as i-CAT FLX or DEXIS OP 3D LX. - Always factor in **workflow integration**—scanner compatibility, CAD/CAM, implant/planning software, and training/support from your distributor. ### Get Started with Voxel Dental If you’re ready to upgrade your imaging capabilities and support everything from implants to full arch and orthodontics, **contact Voxel Dental** today.
