One of the most popular tools for diagnosis, between two to three million CT scans are performed annually in the United States. This is a seven-fold increase within the past ten years. The increase in imaging use has caused concerns regarding pediatric radiation exposure in children with developing cells. The MediTom unit is the only system on the market that automatically adjusts radiation doses based on patient density. This ensures a child receives substantially less radiation than an adult.

MCIS, located in Kennesaw, Georgia, is providing Cone Beam Technology units with a small footprint available to physician offices throughout the United States and Canada.

Dr. David Dillard M.D. FACS from Athens, Georgia states, ”My patients are thrilled to receive diagnosis of their condition during the office visit and are surprised when informed at the substantial benefit of reduced radiation exposure.”

Physicians are eager to have this technology available in the office for immediate interpretations. Meditom’s 3D reconstruction and selectable slice sizes of less than 0.25mm allow for interpretations with dynamic perspectives. David Guy, Director of Sales and Marketing for the MCIS states, “Cone Beam Computed Technology is the latest imaging breakthrough. The major benefits are reduction in unit size, cost, image slice size and patient radiation exposure. This On Demand Medical Office Imaging technology, allows for faster, more detailed diagnosis for the physician and significantly less radiation.”
