AFP Imaging is proud to announce the addition of 3 new mobile imaging operations serving six new states.

"We've been able to coordinate cases with ease that may have been failures just a few short years ago. Cone Beam CT means that we're all on the same page before the patient has major work done."
The Mobile 3D Cone Beam imaging service is an alternative to the traditional "brick and mortar" dental imaging centers and offers far less radiation than a medical CT scan. The mobile imaging approach eliminates the inconvenience to patients and practitioners of referrals to offsite specialty imaging centers by bringing the NewTom 3D Cone Beam scanner directly to the doctora™s practice doorstep.
Capturing the maxillofacial region in a scan provides the dental physician with a 3-dimensional representation of the maxillofacial skeleton.The NewTom VGi unit provides life-size cross-sectional images of the mandible and maxilla to assess the quality and quantity of bone, and spatial orientation of critical anatomical structures for pre- and post-insertion of implant fixtures. Other applications include analysis for TMJ, Orthodontic, maxillofacial surgery as well as airway assessment essential for correcting obstructive sleep disorder.
The benefits of 3D mobile imaging and the NewTom VGi apply to both patient and physician. On-site CB3D scans, with immediate delivery to the doctor, offer greater treatment acceptance and increased office efficiency, and prestige. The patient enjoys the ultimate in customer service, while getting a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for a more predictable outcome. Patients also appreciate the continuity of care that the practice provides, including as little as 100 times less radiation, when compared to a medical CT scan.
Joseph Coursey, MICOI (Master of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists), of Russellville Dental Lab in Russellville, KY commented aIn the new dynamic of coordinating outcomes for patients among Labs, Surgeons, and Restorative Doctors, nothing has brought more to the table in recent years than Cone Beam CT technology.a Coursey continuedaWe've been able to coordinate cases with ease that may have been failures just a few short years ago. Cone Beam CT means that we're all on the same page before the patient has major work done.a The new Mobile Cone Beam CT operations throughout the country are not only making CBCT technology available, they bring it right to the doctora™s office.
