i-CAT

The i-CAT system is an advanced 3D imaging technology used in dentistry and maxillofacial imaging. The i-CAT cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) system provides highly detailed, three-dimensional images of the oral and maxillofacial structures, offering a comprehensive view for diagnostic and treatment planning purposes. This imaging technology is used in dentistry, oral surgery, and orthodontics.

At Benson Orthodontics, we use this modern technology to visualize anatomical structures with precision, plan complex procedures accurately, and enhance the overall quality of patient care.

How Does i-CAT Work?

The i-CAT imaging system employs cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology to capture detailed three-dimensional images of the oral and maxillofacial structures. During a 360-degree rotation around the patient's head, the machine rapidly captures two-dimensional X-ray images. Sophisticated software then processes and reconstructs this data, creating a high-resolution, cross-sectional 3D image.

This comprehensive view allows dental professionals to analyze intricate details of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding tissues, aiding in precise diagnostics and treatment planning. i-CAT minimizes radiation exposure while providing detailed imaging, making it a valuable tool for various dental specialties.

The Benefits of i-CAT

Three-Dimensional Precision

i-CAT in Denver, CO, provides highly detailed, three-dimensional images of the oral and maxillofacial structures. This precision allows dental professionals to visualize anatomical details with unparalleled clarity, leading to more accurate diagnostics and treatment planning.

Diagnostic Accuracy

The high-resolution images produced by i-CAT enhance diagnostic accuracy. Our orthodontist in Denver, CO, can detect issues that may be overlooked early with traditional two-dimensional imaging, leading to more effective and timely interventions.

Comprehensive Treatment Planning

i-CAT facilitates meticulous treatment planning for dental procedures, including orthodontic treatment, dental implants, extractions, and orthognathic surgeries. The detailed anatomical insights help reduce the margin of error, leading to more predictable outcomes.

Orthodontic Precision

In orthodontics, i-CAT is crucial in analyzing the three-dimensional relationships between teeth, bones, and soft tissues. This level of precision allows our orthodontist to develop personalized treatment plans that optimize results and increase patient satisfaction.

Reduced Radiation Exposure

With its advanced imaging capabilities, i-CAT is designed to minimize patient radiation exposure. Compared to traditional computed tomography (CT) scans, i-CAT provides excellent image quality with a lower radiation dose, prioritizing patient safety.
