Dental imaging firm AFP Imaging said it has entered negotiations to acquire Italian dental CT technology developer Quantitative Radiology (QR).
Execution of a final agreement to acquire the Verona-based firm is expected soon, according to AFP of Elmsford, NY. QR has installed more than 300 of its dental CT systems worldwide in the last few years, AFP said.
While finalizing the agreement, the firms have executed three-year distribution agreements for the territories of Canada and Latin America (excluding Brazil). Upon closing of the acquisition, AFP will have exclusive worldwide control of the distribution of QR products, according to the vendor.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
