i-CAT
WHY CONE BEAM TECHNOLOGY?
Cone Beam 3-D images provide high-definition, three-dimensional, digital data on precise anatomical information of all oral and maxillofacial structures with less radiation to the patient.
WHY i-CAT?
The i-CAT Enhances the Way Dentists See Their Patients
Surgical Predictability – The i-CAT gives dentists the complete anatomical information on bone and pathology prior to surgery, resulting in less trauma and predictable surgical outcomes.
Navigational Predictability – The anatomically accurate i-CAT images allow dentists to successfully create surgical plans and surgical guides prior to surgery.
Distortion-Free Measurements – The i-CAT produces anatomically accurate 3-D images used to create precise treatment plans leading to the most accurate treatment plans and successful surgical procedures.
Work Flow – The i-CAT takes 8.9-second open-environment patient scans and, within minutes, the data is transferred to the workstation computer for the dentist to begin diagnosis and treatment planning.

- A quick and easy 8.9-second scan producing the most anatomically accurate 3-D images of the mouth, face, and jaw
- An open-environment scan increasing the patient’s comfort level
- Lower patient cost than a medical CT
- Reduces surgery time
- The i-CAT is available to patients in their dentist office to avoid hospital visits and multiple appointments
- Within minutes of the i-CAT scan, dentists are able to offer patients an immediate virtual diagnosis and treatment plan—all in one visit
- Dr. Gates can easily share the 3-D data with a patient’s general practitioner using free i-CAT Vision Software
