A Growing Family–Two Winning
Announcements from i-CAT
Bringing an extra dimension to
the dental practice has always
been a focus of Imaging
Sciences International with its
i-CAT® Cone Beam 3D imaging
systems. i-CAT’s quality 3D scans and
control over radiation dose translates
into optimum care for patients. It gives
the clinician the capability to diagnose
problems with less radiation and develop
treatment plans more easily and precisely. Imaging Sciences International
has announced a new, innovative 3D
option—the i-CAT® FLX Cone Beam 3D
system, designed for greater flexibility in
scanning, planning, and treatment.
The new i-CAT FLX features the latest
high technology tools for patient comfort
and image quality:
• Visual iQuity image technology
provides i-CAT’s clearest 3D and 2D
images.
• Only i-CAT offers QuickScan+ 3D
imaging of the full dentition at a lower
dose than a 2D pan.*
• Ergonomic Stability System (ESS)
offers seated positioning, robust head
stability, and adjustable seating controls to minimize patient movement
and maximize accuracy of the scanning
process. It also provides wheelchair
accessibility.
• i-Collimator electronically adjusts the
field-of-view to limit radiation only to
the area of scanning interest.
• i-PAN offers traditional 2D panoramic
images.
• The unit’s small footprint fits easily
into any practice.
i-CAT’s new SmartScan STUDIO™
provides an easy, customizable solution
for a guided, controlled workflow in your
practice. With its easy-to-use touchscreen
interface and integrated acquisition
system, SmartScan STUDIO offers stepby-step guidance, allowing you to select
the appropriate scan for your patient with
ALARA in mind.
For implants, oral surgery, orthodontics,
TMJ and airway issues, the i-CAT FLX
also offers Tx STUDIO™ treatment
planning software that provides
immediate access to integrated
treatment tools for implant planning,
surgical guides and other applications.
Thanks to the Win A Free i-CAT
Sweepstakes, a lucky dentist will soon
experience the advantages that 3D
imaging brings to a practice. This year’s
winner, Dr. Patrick Hermanson, of Pierre,
South Dakota, will soon take delivery
of his new i-CAT. He explains why he
entered the contest.
The new i-CAT FLX
“I thought that having a
3D unit would be amazing,
and I could really use it in
my practice.”
Dr. Hermanson is a general practitioner
who shares his office with another GP
and an oral surgeon who places implants.
He says that having an i-CAT will help
him and his colleagues to “better evaluate
the health of the bone, bony pockets for
periodontal evaluation, and position of
the roots in the jaw.” He explains further,
“A lower molar will typically have two
roots, but once in a while one of those
roots split, and it is important for us to be
aware of that.”
The detailed data that the i-CAT scans
provide will help Dr. Hermanson with
some of the more specialized procedures
that he offers, such as restorative
endodontics. “I have always used
periapical films, bitewings and
panoramic imaging, all of which are
two dimensional. Seeing the dentition
in three dimensions will be a big
advantage!”
Dr. Hermanson and his staff are
looking forward to the training that they
will receive after the i-CAT is installed.
He will also be able to take advantage of
i-CAT’s 3D Imaging Institute for continuing education, including online tutorials,
webinars, regional classes, custom on-site
training, and the International Congress
on 3D Dental Imaging. Although Pierre
is South Dakota’s state capital, it is small
in terms of population, and some people
have to travel as far as 200 miles to reach
certain types of specialists. He sums up,
“To have this tool in our office to treat
patients here instead of sending them
out, is a big deal.”
