Can Alvea use scans from the Owandy Radiology I-Max 3D (I-Max 3D Pro)?

Yes. The Owandy Radiology I-Max 3D (I-Max 3D Pro) 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 Owandy Radiology I-Max 3D (I-Max 3D Pro)?

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 Owandy Radiology I-Max 3D (I-Max 3D Pro)?

The Owandy Radiology I-Max 3D (I-Max 3D Pro) reaches 16 cm, enough to capture both arches in one scan — a mode most practices never switch to.

Where the Owandy Radiology I-Max 3D (I-Max 3D Pro) stands today

Resolution holds up: at its sharpest (72µm 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 16cm — enough for both arches in one capture. Most practices never switch out of the small default FOV and never know they have this.
At 3 years (2023) it's current-generation. There is no hardware reason to replace it — the value left on the table is in how you use it.
Detector: Flat panel (CsI).

What it already does that most practices don't use

Multiple FOV modes (5x5, 9x5, 9x9, 12x10, 16x11). Most operators leave it on one preset — the larger modes are already paid for.
The same unit does panoramic/ceph as well as 3D — one capture surface you may be sending out 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 Owandy Radiology I-Max 3D (I-Max 3D Pro)

UpgradeCurrent-gen compact pan/(ceph)/CBCT; FOV up to 16x11 cm (full jaw/TMJ/sinus/airway); 72 um HD voxel. Unveiled CDA Spring 2023.
SuccessorThe I-Max 3D XPro is the current successor — useful as a yardstick for what actually changed, not an automatic reason to buy it.
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.
