Dental imaging developer Imaging Sciences International has released the next generation of its i-CAT 3D conebeam CT dental imaging scanner.
The new version offers scan times of 5, 8.5, and 26 seconds, with standard reconstruction taking less than 30 seconds, according to the Hatfield, PA-based firm. It also includes a rotating, amorphous silicon flat-panel detector for capturing small and extended fields-of-view (17 x 23 cm).
Other new features include a reduction in typical file sizes to about 50 MB per file and a new redesign, Imaging Sciences said.

![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)
