Read full descriptionHide full description
GiANO HR and NewTom GO are highly advanced dental equipments by NewTom, with panoramic, ceph and CBCT capabilities. NewTom Control Pad allows users of the equipment to connect via Wi-Fi to the equipment, browse the diagnostic programs available, select an imaging modality and a region of interest before performing a radiographic examination. NewTom Control Pad does not replace any PC workstation, where NewTom NNT imaging software will process and store the radiographic data. Nevertheless, NewTom Control Pad provides quick and easy previewing of 2D radiographs acquired, with image enhancement such as brightness, contrast and gamma correction, as well as e-mailing of 2D images to a preferred recipient.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NewTom Control Pad at none against DICOM Spectator's 1. NewTom Control Pad also leads on update cadence (every 13 months vs every 80 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
