FTG's DC-Air® Earns "Best Image Quality" Distinction

Fort Wayne, IN, December 30, 2025 --(PR.com)-- ftgimaging.com/recognition
FTG Imaging, the pioneering leader in wireless dental radiography, announces that its flagship DC-Air® True Wireless® Intraoral Sensor has been named a Standout Product with "Best Image Quality" designation in the prestigious CR Foundation Buying Guide: The Best Products for 2026. This marks yet another industry validation for the revolutionary wireless sensor that has been transforming dental imaging workflows nationwide.

The Technology Behind the Award
DC-Air® is dentistry's first and only Bluetooth® wireless, direct-conversion intraoral X-ray sensor - a technological leap that eliminates the cables, fragility, and image distortion that have plagued digital sensors for decades. Manufactured in Finland by Athlos Oy and distributed by FTG Imaging, DC-Air® represents a fundamental reimagining of how dental X-rays should work.

Unlike conventional sensors that convert X-rays to visible light before creating a digital image (introducing distortion at every conversion step), DC-Air® converts X-rays directly into electronic signals—delivering diagnostic truth without the noise.

Why Image Accuracy Matters More Than "Image Quality"
FTG Imaging has pioneered a critical distinction in dental radiography: Image Accuracy (IA) versus subjective "image quality." While competitors rely on post-processing filters that make images look better, DC-Air® delivers images that are better—verified through objective Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) testing.

Where 'quality' is subjective, accuracy is objective. IA delivers diagnostic truth verified through MTF testing. This means measurable performance, not just aesthetics. DC-Air® achieves MTF values exceeding 70% at 5 lp/mm and over 40% at 10 lp/mm, significantly outperforming legacy wired sensors in the diagnostic spatial frequency ranges that matter most for detecting caries, fractures, and pathology.

Leadership Response
"CR Foundation's recognition validates what our customers experience every day—diagnostic clarity that changes how practices approach patient care," said Dr. Robert Sachs, D.D.S., Founder and COO at FTG Imaging. "We didn't set out to make another sensor. We set out to solve the problems that have frustrated clinicians for a generation. This award tells us we succeeded."
