Features

Low-Dose Options

i-CAT QuickScan and QuickScan+ protocols allow you to take complete 3D images at a radiation dose comparable to a 2D panoramic image*Utilizing the i-CAT FLX QuickScan+ exposure tool protocol. Use of lower dosage imaging may only be suitable for certain diagnostic tasks. Image quality is proportional to dose. i-CAT FLX offers a variety of exposure protocols allowing clinicians to adjust dosage to specific diagnostic needs.

Seated Position

i-CAT FLX is one of the few machines that provides a seated position for scanning. Ergonomic Stability System (ESS) allows for easy, seated patient positioning, designed to minimize patient movement, and avoid unnecessary retakes and additional radiation.

Open Platform

i-CAT FLX allows for an open platform when using your DICOM files. These files are not ‘locked’, giving you the freedom to use i-CAT-captured files in a wide array of programs including CAD/CAM applications and other dental equipment.

Traditional 2D Panoramics

Your “2-in-1” i-CAT FLX V-Series takes a traditional 2D pan using the same high-quality sensor that is used to acquire 3D scans. Using your system to capture BOTH 2D and 3D imaging assists you with your ALARA goals and helps you transition to 3D imaging at your own pace.

Full 24.2 cm x 19.3 cm Sensor

All i-CAT FLX V-Series models come equipped with a full 24.2 cm x 19.3 cm sensor capable of yielding a full ceph height 3D scan (13 cm x 16 cm) in just 4.8 seconds. This allows owners the flexible freedom to upgrade their field-of-view without the need to replace the unit itself. The solution is simply an in-office software upgrade that opens the field-of-view to the next V-Series configuration.

No Offset Scanning

With our PureScan™ technology and full-size sensor, i-CAT FLX V-Series scanners capture a 3D scan without compromising image quality. This full-beam scanning maximizes the use of the large sensor to provide more anatomical information at a higher quality compared to other smaller sensors.

Unlike the i-CAT FLX V-Series, some 3D CBCT imaging machines use a smaller sensor, which only captures half of the volume at a time requiring images to be stitched together. Offset or half-beam scanning allows a smaller sensor to shift and scan a slightly larger volume than its size, although the cost associated is the sacrifice of image quality and anatomical accuracy.

Clinical Indications

Your dental practice is unique—that’s why you need a flexible 3D solution that works with your practice and provides the control you need to deliver optimum care to your patients.
