Hi Res Scans
I couldn't find the original post for this so I'm starting a new one. In response to a comment I made, Samantha said
"Matt - You are right about there being little difference between 40 sec and 20 sec with 0.3 voxel. We've actually eliminated the 40 sec 0.3 voxel scan from new machines."
So now I'm curious... using this same logic, shouldn't there be very little difference between .25 and .3 voxel? Or is there something magical in the math when we go under .3mm?

That makes sense (I guess). It seems like the more I learn, the more I need to learn. Thanks for the clarification.
Arun mentioned that there is a .1mm voxel scan protocol available. Can you post it (or email it to me)? It might come in handy one day.
BACKGROUND: Don Croall has the very first i-CAT installed in a commercial dental application and we have the second. At that time, the i-CAT was configured for Windows 2000.
CURRENT: The i-CAT now utilizes Windows XP Professional. There is no reason for Windows 2000 users to switch to XP.
FUTURE: As of January 2007, Windows Vista will be broadly available. ISI wisely plans to wait until Vista had been in mass release for a while so Microsoft can fix all the initial bugs BEFORE using that platform in i-CAT scanners.
A couple of days ago, we obtained the .12mm scan protocols from ISI technical support and have successfully performed a scan. We will perform a few more scans (at .12mm)to verify that there are no issues with the initial i-CATs running Windows 2000.
