Can Alvea use scans from the J. Morita 3D Accuitomo 170?

Yes. The J. Morita 3D Accuitomo 170 exports a standard DICOM volume, and Alvea converts that volume into a chairside 3D model of the patient's jaw — no new hardware and no new scan. It runs off the cone-beam you already take.

How much does it cost to repair a J. Morita 3D Accuitomo 170?

The dominant repair on any dental CBCT is the X-ray tube, which runs roughly $15,000-$40,000 and is typically replaced every 3–7 years by scan volume. Annual service contracts run about $5,000–$15,000, and a flat-panel detector is quoted by the manufacturer rather than listed publicly. These are 2025–26 industry ranges, not a quote for a specific unit.

What is the field of view on the J. Morita 3D Accuitomo 170?

The J. Morita 3D Accuitomo 170 reaches 17 cm, enough to capture both arches in one scan — a mode most practices never switch to.

Where the J. Morita 3D Accuitomo 170 stands today

Resolution holds up: at its sharpest (80µm voxel) it's still in the fine-detail tier the newest units sell on. You are not behind on image quality.
Field of view reaches 17cm — enough for both arches in one capture. Most practices never switch out of the small default FOV and never know they have this.
It's 17 years old (2009) — legacy hardware. The question isn't "is it old," it's "does a networking/software path get you current for a fraction of a new unit." Usually yes.
Detector: Flat panel.

What it already does that most practices don't use

Multiple FOV modes (4x4, 4x8, 6x6, 8x8, 10x5, 10x10, 14x5, 14x10, 17x12). Most operators leave it on one preset — the larger modes are already paid for.
Output/networking: standard DICOM export. That export path is what lets a scan leave the machine and become something a patient can actually look at.

Upgrade paths for the J. Morita 3D Accuitomo 170

Upgrade4th-generation Accuitomo; dedicated high-resolution CBCT (no pan/ceph arm); 9 FOVs from Ø40xH40 up to Ø170xH120; zoom reconstruction to 80 um; ~30-40% dose reduction vs prior Accuitomo. The 'F17' is the FDA model designation MCT-1F17.
NetworkThe fastest upgrade is almost never new hardware — it's getting the volume off the machine and into a workflow. That alone changes what the box is worth to you.
ReconfigureSwitching your default to the right FOV/scan mode for implant cases is free, and most practices never do it.

Repair vs. replace: what it costs

Repair: the dominant wear item on any dental CBCT is the X-ray tube — a replacement runs roughly $15,000-$40,000, typically every 3–7 years depending on scan volume. A larger-FOV unit like this one sits toward the upper end of that range. Budget a service contract at about $5,000–$15,000/year and software licensing around $2,000/year. A flat-panel detector is the big unknown — it isn't publicly priced, so get a manufacturer quote before assuming the worst.

Replace: replacement pricing varies by configuration and condition. Before any trade-up, the honest test is whether a networking or software path gets you most of the capability for a fraction of a new unit.

Independent by design. Alvea makes nothing you'd buy from a CBCT vendor — so this report has no reason to push you toward a sale. It reads your machine, not your patients. This is an equipment capability report, not clinical guidance.
