NYC Braces Orthodontist News: i-CAT Cone Beam 3-D Imaging System

Most of us are familiar with CT scans. They’ve been used in the medical field for over 30 years. But one of the latest advances in diagnostic technology, the revolutionary i-CAT system, has also become a leader in diagnostic tools and is now regularly used at Hanson Place Orthodontics.

If you’re unfamiliar with i-CAT technology, the i-CAT differs from traditional CT scans in that it produces quality 3-D images in as little time as one minute. This more detailed three-dimensional view offers Orthodontists a better view of the hard and soft facial tissues and structures and can lead to a faster and more accurate diagnosis.

Another important feature of the i-CAT Cone Beam is that is uses 90% less radiation than a tradition X-Ray, while providing your nyc braces orthodontist with clear, crisp accurate images.

i-CAT technology is most commonly used in TMJ assessment, Surgical Planning, evaluation of cleft lip and palates, impacted tooth position, facial analysis and placement of dental implants.
