The NewTom VG provides clinicians with detailed three-dimensional, radiographic images of the teeth and jaws while allowing patients to stand, sit, or remain in their wheel chairs while being scanned. The primary applications are for diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry and otolaryngology (ENT), including dental implants, orthodonture, and maxillo-facial surgery, as well as ear, sinus, and airway imaging.
The company claims that it is the only cone beam computed tomography scanning supplier to provide both vertical and horizontal configurations for dental and ENT markets. The products are manufactured by AFP Imaging’s wholly owned subsidiary, Quantitative Radiology, in Verona, Italy.
Gary Lee, executive vice president, sales and marketing of Genexa Medical, the exclusive Canadian distributor for NewTom VG and NewTom 3G, said: “The NewTom VG is a culmination of the key advances of previous generations of NewTom scanners. It produces images with better resolution, contrast and clarity in a package whose footprint is no larger than a traditional panoramic X-ray scanner.”
