I've had the VistaScan Mini for just over a year now. This replaced our old system of X-ray film and a wet developer. The advantages to the practice have been remarkable. The plates are the same size and handle in the same manner as film, so there is little difference in taking intraoral exposures. The one difference is that the plates are noticeably thinner than the film and it is my experience that patients find them more tolerable intraorally. The processing of the plates is cleaner, faster and completely predictable. The plate is placed in the scanning slot, which removes the plastic cover, runs through the VistaScan Mini and drops out ready for recovering. This takes approximately 20 seconds per plate.

The Vista Scan Mini takes a one touch button to turn on and be ready for action. This compared to turning on a wet processor which can take half an hour to come up to the correct temperature, especially on a cold day.
