Building on the success of its i-CAT FLX cone-beam 3-D imaging technology, i-CAT, a brand of the KaVo Kerr Group, launches the i-CAT FLX V-Series, the industry’s first fully upgradable solution. This system offers three fields of view (FOV): enhanced low-dose and ultra-low-dose 3-D imaging and dedicated 2-D traditional panoramic capabilities at a price point starting at under $90,000.

The i-CAT FLX V-Series enables clinicians to support current or incorporate new treatment offerings, such as airway analysis, with an imaging solution that can grow as their practice evolves, according to the company.

Features include:

A solution that can grow as a practice’s diagnosis and treatment offerings expand. i-CAT FLX V-Series provides the option of upgrading the field-of-view based on the types of procedures performed today and in the future, such as: i-CAT FLX V8 – 8 cm x 8 cm, 2-D Pan; i-CAT FLX V10 – 10 cm x 16 cm, 2-D Pan; and i-CAT FLX V16– 17 cm x 23 cm, 2-D Pan.
Enhanced low-dose and ultra-low dose scanning, which is easily achieved using i-CAT QuickScan and QuickScan+ protocols, allowing practitioners to take complete 3-D images at a radiation dose comparable to a 2-D panoramic image.
The i-PAN feature allows technicians to take a quick 2-D pan using the same high-quality sensor that is used to acquire 3-D scans. Coupled with software used to enhance overall 2-D image quality, clinicians can use their i-CAT FLX V-Series for both 2-D and 3-D imaging.
Utilizing i-CAT PureScan technology and full-size sensor, i-CAT FLX V-Series scanners utilize full-beam scanning and maximizes the use of the large sensor to capture a 3-D scan. This provides more anatomical information without compromising image quality compared to other smaller sensors.

“The i-CAT FLX V-Series enables practitioners to upgrade 2-D and 3-D technology at their own pace without buying a new 3-D CBCT or other imaging machine,” said Richard Matty, marketing director for i-CAT. “At any time, if practitioners want to add implants, airway analysis and treatment planning, orthodontic care, oral surgery or other capabilities, they can do so with a simple software upgrade. They can also offer 3-D imaging to other practices or health-care providers, thereby potentially expanding their practice.”

The i-CAT FLX V-series is available only through the company’s exclusive distributer, Henry Schein Dental. The i-CAT FLX V-Series will be presented at several upcoming industry events, including the ICIO Summer Implant Symposium in San Diego, Calif., and CDA in San Francisco, from Sept. 8-10. In addition, the i-CAT FLX V-Series was pre-launched in mid-July with two webinars, which can be viewed online via the link below.
