Ray, First Mobile Screening Vehicle in Korea Equipped with X-ray

[Financial News] Digital dental solution specialist Ray announced on the 14th that it has equipped its panoramic X-ray device 'RAYScan α-P' on a mobile dental screening vehicle. This is the first time in Korea that dental radiographic equipment has been installed in a vehicle.
A Ray representative stated, "Until now, dental radiographic equipment faced limitations in being applied to mobile screening vehicles due to environmental constraints such as narrow movement paths and constant vibrations," and added, "Utilizing the technological expertise accumulated in the global dental radiographic equipment market over many years, we have supplied related equipment to the domestic public health field for the first time."
This mobile screening project is organized by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and executed by the Korean Dental Association (KDA). Ray's equipment was selected for its high ratings in user convenience and image quality during product evaluation.
Radiographic equipment requires a 'calibration' process to adjust image consistency when there is vibration or impact. Most equipment needs tuning by skilled engineers, but Ray's equipment has an automatic correction function built-in, allowing anyone to easily perform calibration.
Additionally, it is designed to be user-friendly, allowing easy access for wheelchair users and supporting both sitting and standing imaging depending on the subject. The vehicle is currently in trial operation, collecting oral health indicator data such as cavities, gum disease, and missing teeth from Korean adults. This data will be used as basic material for future public oral health policy formulation.
The government plans to conduct imaging for about 6,000 people annually through the mobile dental screening vehicle. The captured images will undergo professional interpretation, and if a disease is detected, treatment recommendations will be made to the subject. If the effectiveness of the screening system is proven, it is expected to be expanded as a mobile dental care service for medically underserved populations.
A representative stated, "This is an example proving that precision diagnostic technology can be effectively implemented in mobile environments," and added, "We will expand partnerships in the public health sector to further broaden the social contribution possibilities of digital oral diagnostic solutions."
