 State-of-the-Art in Dental Imaging
Introduced in 1994, i-CAT launched Cone Beam technology in the dental industry and introduced dental professionals to the third dimension of patient imaging. The i-CAT has successfully pioneered Cone Beam 3-D dental imaging and formed a global network of i-CAT Cone Bean 3-D imaging centers. The Bye Center for Implants and Periodontics is one of about 400 practices in the United States to have an i-CAT.
Why Cone Beam 3-D?
