Digital x-ray developer AFP Imaging has received approval to sell its conebeam CT scanner in Canada.
Health Canada, the federal regulator of drugs and health products in Canada, signed off on the company's NewTom VG 3D Cone Beam CT scanner. The system is marketed for treatment planning, including dental implants, orthodontics, and maxillofacial surgery, as well as ear, sinus, and airway imaging. It features a small footprint and is available in vertical and horizontal configurations designed for dental and ear, nose, and throat (ENT) markets in office settings with limited space.
Genexa Medical will serve as the exclusive Canadian distributor for the scanner.

![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)
