Test a shorter acquisition process.
The program must measure the tradeoff among projection count, bandwidth, image quality, dose, and motion before making a speed claim.

THE PROGRAM
An orthodontic CBCT concept with calibrated geometry and local reconstruction.
Vera is an orthodontic CBCT concept. The program is focused on calibrated geometric accuracy, local reconstruction, automated cephalometric support, and a clear distinction between measured and inferred anatomy. Scan-time, dose, image-quality, clinical, and regulatory validation are not complete.
THE PRODUCT JOB
Separate measured anatomy from software inference.
The intended interface keeps uncertainty visible and leaves interpretation with the clinician.
Connect imaging to treatment planning.
The concept connects reconstruction, cephalometric landmarks, airway review, referral communication, and the patient record.
PROPOSED MECHANISM
Calibrate the geometry before automating interpretation.
The current prototype architecture pairs a dental monoblock with a 16 × 16 cm flat-panel detector, encoder-triggered projections, and local reconstruction on an Apple-class workstation. Calibration phantoms (not AI alone) set the spatial-accuracy foundation; software can then accelerate reconstruction, tracing, and review.
- Fast acquisition target
- Geometric phantom calibration
- Local reconstruction
- Automated tracing support
- Visible uncertainty
- ALARA-led design
