Some of Our Awards and Commendations
Commendation in the All-Poland Contest ‘Pearls of Medicine 2009’ in the category ‘The Producer and distributor of medical and pharmaceutical articles’
About us
We were twice chosen by the European Commission to represent European Union
in the business mission to Japan as part of EU Gateway 2009
and 2010 programme.
The Patent of the Year 2009 – the award for the set of dental
phantoms Pro-Dent.
The ‘Pro-Project’ was established in 1991. We deal with the who-le range of issues connected with the operation of X-ray laboratories. Years of practice put us among top companies specializing in this field. The knowledge and experience we have gained have made it possi-ble for us to develop and begin the production of medical X-ray test ob-jects (phantoms) and dedicated software. Our products comply with inter-national standards and CE certification (our company has ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2003).

Why us?Outstanding quality. All of our products go through thorough production process and quality control. We are so sure of our quality that we give you a 5-year warranty.
Great precision. Thanks to the use of the latest, computer aided, technical devices and technologies we manufacture to an accuracy of 0.001mm.
Customization option. Because we take special care for each produced piece we can make small and large alterations to each project. You may want, for example, more low contrast objects or just need a description on your phantom to be written in a given language – it is not a problem and will not be expensive.
Tailored products. If customization of existing products is not enough, we can pre-pare a special solution just for testing your x-ray units.
Innovation. Some of our products are patented, unique and set up new standards in Quality Assurance.
Universality. We create universal, easy-to-use solutions. For example, while others make separate phantoms for digital and conventional dental x-ray units, we have develo-ped one universal set for both types.
User-friendliness is very important for us. It ensures that everyone can use our products and quality assurance is simple and quick. The latest step in this field is the Pro-Control software that automatically evaluates test results carried out with our phan-toms: from simple dental images to complex CT scans.
Low price. Thanks to the low labour costs in Poland and advanced technologies used we can offer very competitive prices and best price to quality ratio.
Popularity. All the above features make our products very popular on markets of more than a dozen countires and on our native market (more than six hundred Pro-Dent sets sold in Poland each year and increasing).

The Pro-Dent set consists of:
The Pro-Dent set is a universal set of phantoms for carrying out constancy and acceptance tests of con- ventional and digital dental X-ray units (intra-oral, panoramic and cephalometric).
This is not an all-in-one device where results of tests blur each other out. This is the only solution on the market that makes it possible to measure the x-ray beam applicator with a dental film or a digital detector.

Dental tomography
The Pro-Dent CT phantom is an innovative solution for quality control of dental tomography systems and other X-ray devices with 3D function. It was developed in cooperation with leading producers of dental tomography units.
Size of the phantom corresponds to a human skull (15cm in diameter) and all test patterns are located in the area matching the maxilla. This allows for a reliable and quick testing of x-ray devices, even with a limited field of visualization. Also, quality is evaluated in the clinically essential region.
With the Pro-Dent CT you can do the following tests:
image geometry•
pixel (matrix) size•
artefacts, noise•

Computed Tomography
Pro-CTThe Pro-CT phantom may be used for carrying out acceptance and constancy tests of computed tomography systems according to IEC 61223-3-5 and the AAPM (American Association of Physicists in Medicine) guidelines.
Phantom can be used to do the following tests:artefacts, noise •
homogeneity •
spatial resolution (high contrast resolution)•
sensitivity (low contrast resolution) •
absorbed dose •
size dependence •
contrast scale •
slice thickness •
alignment •
linearity •

This phantom consists of five test modules placed on an adju-stable stand allowing for accurate alignment on the CT table. Markings on modules provide further facilitation of the posi-tioning process. There is no need to fill phantom with water, which can be very inconvenient, because all modules are filled with substance whose density is similar to water.
