Facial Reconstruction Dental Industry Leaders Enhance Patient Care with 3-D Dental Imaging System
Posted: January 14, 2006
The Center for Corrective Jaw Surgery is using Imaging Sciences’ i-CAT™ advanced 3-D imaging machine to improve diagnosis and treatment planning for their patients

Imaging Sciences International today announced that Drs. G. William Arnett, DDS, FACD, and Dr. Michael J. Gunson, DDS, MD, of the Center for Corrective Jaw Surgery, are using Imaging Sciences’ advanced i-CAT™ 3-D imaging technology. The i-CAT™ gives dentists and specialists the most complete information on the anatomy of a patient’s mouth, face, and jaw areas, which leads to the most accurate treatment and predictable outcomes for patients’ surgical procedures.

Now, patients who visit the Center for Corrective Jaw Surgery will benefit from the most advanced 3-D dental imaging technology. Drs. Arnett and Gunson are using Imaging Sciences’ i-CAT™ for cephalometric X-rays, joint imaging, and studies of special anatomical areas involved in facial reconstruction.

“The i-CAT™ has helped us significantly improve our ability to do optimal diagnosis and treatment planning for our patients,” Dr. Arnett says. “The immediate three-dimensional digital reconstructions of patients’ anatomy provide detailed information that’s never been readily available before in such an accurate and easily obtainable fashion. Treatment planning has never been easier than with the i-CAT™’s high-tech, in-office scanning.”

The comprehensive 3-D images produced by Imaging Sciences’ i-CAT™ are a valuable tool to patients considering both necessary and elective procedures. “It’s especially helpful when we’re trying to show patients the value of a procedure,” adds Dr. Gunson. “The accurate 3-D images let us share a visual diagnosis with our patients so they can better understand their treatment options, while exposing them to a significantly lower radiation dose compared to traditional CT scans.”

The easy-to-use i-CAT™ has become the leader in Cone Beam 3-D Imaging by producing more thorough three-dimensional views of all oral and maxillofacial structures. Patients remain seated in an ‘open environment scan’, which increases patient comfort and captures the natural orientation of anatomy. The data is transferred to a computer, typically within one minute, and displayed on an intuitive 3-D mapping tool that allows doctors and technicians to easily format and select desired ‘slices’ for immediate viewing. The entire i-CAT™ workstation, including machine, computer station, and access space, requires under 60 square feet of office space, and creates 3-D images at reduced cost and with considerably less radiation than traditional Fan Beam Computed Tomography systems.

“It’s gratifying to know that the respected Center for Corrective Jaw Surgery is using the i-CAT™ to enhance treatment planning for their patients,” says Ed Marandola, President and CEO of Imaging Sciences. “The i-CAT™ gives Dr. Arnett and Dr. Gunson more accurate anatomical information than they could possibly capture with traditional X-rays, and without having to inconvenience their patients by sending them out to a hospital for CT scans. Imaging Sciences is proud to provide dental specialists the imaging technology necessary to treat their patients with unprecedented speed, accuracy, and success.”
