The Phantom for Intraoral Radiography Assessment, Testing & Evaluation (PIRATE) is a reference standard for diagnostic dental radiology of the jaw.


Ideal Tool for Intraoral Imaging

The phantom supports clinical staff in the selection, training, verification, and ongoing monitoring of scanning parameters used in intraoral radiographic imaging and other common dental imaging procedures.

Tissue Equivalent Technology

The PIRATE phantom is constructed from tissue-equivalent materials representing the maxilla, mandible, and teeth, and is housed in a durable plastic holding fixture. Proprietary tissue-equivalent materials mimic reference human tissues within 1% linear attenuation across dental X-ray and related dental imaging modalities.


Capabilities and Applications:
  • Commission intraoral x-ray devices
  • Learn how to properly position for optimal images
  • Test reconstruction techniques and algorithms for implant planning and maxillofacial reconstruction
  • Train and evaluate personnel during implementation of new equipment and techniques
  • Validate consistency of image quality
