I-CAT Scan

PictureDr. Inna Gellerman is the first orthodontist in Huntington, Long Island to introduce in-office dynamic three-dimensional I-CAT cone beam digital imaging.

This exciting new imaging process provides a complete view of all anatomic structures at a reduced cost and with significantly less radiation than traditional medical C-T scans.

The ICAT’s ability to reconstruct 3D models results in more precise orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.

 

HOW WILL i-CAT IMAGING ENHANCE YOUR TREATMENT?

  • 3D imaging of facial bones assists in diagnosing skeletal asymmetries
  • Jaw to jaw relationships assists in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Position of impacted or un-erupted teeth helps to determine need and timing for orthodontic treatment
  • Computerized construction of actual three-dimensional models helps robotically bend special orthodontic wires to facilitate tooth movement, therefore decreasing treatment time by at least 40%.
  • 3D visualization of diseases and disorders of jaw bone as well as defects of the temporomandibular joint.

 

THE BENEFITS OF CONE BEAM TECHNOLOGY:

    • 90% reduction in amount of radiation per study
    • Reduction of CAT scan image costs for patients
    • Simultaneous scanning of the entire upper and lower jaws
    • Onsite access to records thru Dolphin Imaging Digital Records
