USB X-Ray Reader for Dentists and Little Bones



UXSight has a new scanner that is finely tuned to work with pictures of your pearly whites. Working with X-ray films about 2 by 2 inches, this little unit, powered exclusively by USB can enlarge and capture images from standard X-rays. You can interact with them on the screen or just convert them to images for later review. Images can be viewed at up to 50x magnification without loss of fidelity.

This is a consumer class version of what your dentist has already. The effluence of this technology will make it easier to start carrying your own personal medical information with you or online. You'll likely want to couple this new ability with some serious encryption for privacy. So smile big for the dentist and get a few wallet sized prints of those choppers and put the rest on a flash drive to go. Amateur dentists and X-ray-tech hobbyists (do those exist?) can order one of these for $145 once they come off back order.
