Imaging Sciences' new national sales team was forged in direct response to strong demand for the Company's new i-CAT(tm) 3-D digital X-ray imaging system. The easy to use i-CAT(tm) provides complete 3-D views of maxillofacial structures using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), allowing thorough diagnosis and planning and more predicable treatment outcomes. The i-CAT(tm) requires less than 60 square feet of office space and creates 3-D images at half the cost, and with less radiation, than traditional Fan Beam Computed Tomography systems.
“By fielding an application-oriented sales team, we can help dentists better address the diagnosis and risk-management aspects of their practice,” says Edward Marandola, Vice President and General Manager for Imaging Sciences International. “When a dentist calls us and needs information, we can deliver a sales person who is dedicated to their region, who knows both traditional and digital X-ray imaging inside out, and who understands how a dental practice operates. Digital 3-D X-ray imaging is a new and exciting approach that we’re at the forefront of technologically, as well as from the sales and service perspectives.”
