Direct conversion refers to the ability of a radiographic imager to convert x-ray signal to electronic input used to produce the image. Conventional digital sensors must first convert high energy x-ray photons to lower energy photons on the visible light spectrum before the detector inside can provide electronic input.
To accomplish the conversion to light, conventional sensors use a layer of material called a scintillator. Converted light photons are then filtered through an optical fiber plate (essentially a layer of glass). This conversion process not only causes distortion in the resulting image, but the components involved are extremely fragile and make the sensor prone to breaking from even a short drop off the counter or out of the hand.
CADI® Optimum AIR replaces the scintillator and optical plate layers with a direct silicon (Si) semiconductor substrate which is homogenous in nature to the sensor’s CMOS integrated circuit. This revolutionary technology is what gives CADI® Optimum AIR its distinctly accurate image quality and superior durability vs. other “top” sensors.

CADI® Optimum AIR is the only dental x-ray sensor to adopt the latest Bluetooth® technology standards for rapid and reliable image transmission, eliminating the number one point of failure associated with other sensors: THE WIRE!
CADI® Optimum AIR converts x-rays directly into an electronic signal (direct-conversion); a technology that provides greater native sharpness vs. other sensors that must convert x-rays to visible light before creating an image.
CADI® Optimum AIR has an ultra-slim wireless profile of just 5.4mm to make it more comfortable. Our holder system further enhances patient comfort by minimizing additional bulk in the mouth.

USB cables are really meant for devices like printers and speakers that plug in once and stay connected. That’s why things like sensor cables and cell phone chargers break so often: the constant wear from unplugging and reconnecting, bending and moving. The CADI® Optimum AIR docking station acts as the home base for the sensor on the counter, eliminating any USB plugging or movement to move the wireless CADI® Optimum AIR sensor to a different room.
The wireless channel of communication between the sensor and the docking station is Health Canada and ISED cleared for security and reliability. The wireless communication of image data is protected by the latest Bluetooth® encryption and minimizes the exchange of PHI over the wireless link.
The CADI® Optimum AIR docking station intelligently monitors the wireless x-ray sensor’s battery health to optimize charge and longevity. The replaceable lithium ion battery is rated for a 5-year life and thousands of charge cycles.
Each room is equipped with its individual docking station, and a sensor is associated with each of these stations. Consequently, the data transmission follows a one-to-one pattern, and simultaneous transmission is also feasible.
Each room is equipped with an individual docking station, and all docking stations receive data from a single sensor. The sensor has the capability to interact with only one docking station at a time. This interaction occurs when the user consistently remembers to place the sensor on the specific docking station to which they intend the captured images to be sent before usage.
A single docking station has the ability to be paired with multiple sensors; however, data transmission consistently occurs exclusively between a particular docking station and the last sensor that was paired with it.
Only CADI® Optimum AIR features Direct CMOS technology that creates images directly from x-ray photons. True clarity is achieved without the need for sharpening enhancements.
