Cranex 3+ (?)

[Garnet Packota]

Dear colleagues,

I received a telephone call today from a practitioner (one of our
former students) who said he is interested in purchasing a unit he
called a Cranex 3+ from Soredex.  His intention is to use it for TMJ
and cross-sectional implant imaging.

I was not immediately familiar with this unit, but assumed it was
probably similar to, perhaps, the Panorex CMT manufactured by Imaging
Sciences Int'l.

I tried to find the Soredex web site.  It looks like Soredex was
bought out by Instrumentarium Corporation.  I looked at the
Instrumentarium web site, and found no mention of this radiographic
unit.

My questions:
1. Where might one find more information about the Cranex 3+?
(assuming my colleague gave me the correct information).
2. What experience have any of you had with this unit?  How are its
images?  How easy or difficult is it to use?  Have you had any
problems with it?

Thank you.

Garnet Packota
