Dental practitioners in Georgia and South Carolina can now offer cone-beam CT imaging to their patients right in their offices, thanks to a new mobile dental radiology service.
3D Mobile Imaging of the CSRA is the only mobile service in the area offering NewTom 3G (AFP Imaging) cone-beam CT imaging in dentists' offices, the company said in a press release.
The mobile service is an alternative to the traditional "brick and mortar" dental imaging center, eliminating the inconvenience to patients and practitioners of referrals to offsite specialty imaging centers and offering far less radiation than a medical CT scan, the company said.
3D Mobile Imaging is one of more than 24 different mobile imaging operations across the country utilizing NewTom 3G cone-beam CT scanners, the company noted.
