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.
