Why i-CAT?


Cone Beam Scanner or Patient

Why i-CAT?

  • FIRST
    1. The 1st in-office CBCT
    2. The 1st CBCT to offer an ultra low-dose option
    3. The 1st CBCT to enter into the sleep dentistry market
  • Shortest scan time on the market / patient in seated position vs. standing>>> less patient movement >>> the most consistently good image quality on the market
    1. “Weebles wobble” >>> standing patients move
    2. Every i-CAT scan is done in the seated position >>> increases patient stability vs standing >>> less movement >>> consistent image quality >>> limits retakes
    3. Many practitioners are of the mindset that having the patient in a seated position is a must, especially when performing post-surgery scans shortly after sedation
    4. 19 of 20 i-CAT scans might be great, while other manufacturers (with longer scan times and the patient standing) might only have 10-15 scans with no movement >>> this is a very common problem with stand-up units
    5. If doing sedation, a sit-down it is a must for post-surgery scans
  • Every i-CAT is shipped with a full-size sensor
    1. This makes the machine easily upgradable as your practice grows (don’t get handcuffed into a short-term solution)
    2. This maximizes image quality on every scan
    3. Large sensor image quality / no offset scanning
    4. Robust 2D pan images available from large sensor and full volume 3D images are scanned at maximum quality and the least dose possible
  • Most flexible software on the market
    1. Multi-time award winner of “Best CBCT Software”, written by Anatomage with added enhancements exclusively for i-CAT
    2. Virtual implant planning, advanced airway measurement software, STL file import, file compression technology
    3. Multiple interfaces with various practice management systems, DEXIS, Dentrix, etc
  • More partnerships with 3rd party vendors than any other CBCT (think of us as the “iPhone” of the cone beam market)
    1. More partnerships = more options for you to get the most out of your investment
