Thanks to Retina technology for optimal images, CARE technologies for the right dose in each case, and intelligent power management, it delivers the perfect balance between image quality and dose.

Cutting-edge mobile imaging for exceptionally small details at the right dose.
  • Excellent images, right dose
  • Easy handling, smooth workflow
  • Extended capabilities, smart growth
