AFP IMAGING ANNOUNCES 25% REDUCED SCAN TIME ON NEWTOM VG 
May 5, 2008 – (Elmsford, NY) - AFP Imaging Corporation (OTCBB: AFPC.OB) is proud to announce a 25% reduced scan time on its NewTom VG Cone Beam Scanner.  The NewTom VG is an upright or vertical generation (VG) CBCT scanning system allowing patients to sit, stand or remain in a wheelchair while being scanned.     The newly reduced scan time lessens the likelihood of patient movement, allowing practitioners the ability to take higher-quality images.   These shorter scan times and higher-quality images means less retakes and potentially faster, more accurate diagnosis for both the patient and practitioner.  Patients have to remain still for shorter amounts of time, which is especially ideal for children and infirm patients.  A shorter scan time, plus the familiarity of an upright, panoramic-style machine increases patient acceptance and comfort.  
NewTom VG features Safe Beam™ technology, which automatically adjusts the radiation dosage according to the patient’s age and size.  Because it utilizes intermittent bursts of radiation only milliseconds in duration during image acquisition and not the constant radiation stream typical of some other CBCT imaging products, patients' exposure to radiation is in most cases significantly less than that of competing systems. 
“The 25% reduction in scan time is one of many features on the horizon for NewTom CBCT scanners”, said Roberto Molteni, Executive Vice President of Technology at AFP Imaging Corporation.  “The great success of NewTom in the marketplace, coupled with supportive customer feedback has given AFP Imaging the tools to develop new and beneficial improvements for both patients and practitioners’ alike.”
Not limited to new installations, the reduced scan time can be applied to all existing NewTom VG installations with a simple software upgrade.  The NewTom Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) family of imaging products includes the NewTom 3G and VG three-dimensional imaging systems. Whether you are an orthodontist, a maxillo-facial surgeon, a periodontist, an oral surgeon, an implantologist, or an ENT physician, three-dimensional CBCT scanning is an invaluable tool.
