First Mobile Dental Imaging CT Rolls Into Tennessee, Kentucky
Tru Imaging brings leading-edge 3D dental technology to practitioners’ doorsteps

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 12, 2010 – Dental practitioners in Tennessee and Kentucky now have even more to smile about – a leading-edge mobile dental radiology service called Tru Imaging has arrived on the scene, the first ever for both states.

Tru Imaging, based in Nashville, is the only mobile NewTom Cone Beam 3D (CB3D) Imaging unit in these states to offer an innovative service that allows patients to be scanned in a high-tech mobile dental imaging center, right at their dentist’s office. The new diagnostic technology delivers a more efficient, cost-effective alternative to the traditional "brick and mortar" dental imaging centers – with far less radiation than a typical medical CT scan.

“This is the next generation in dental care,” said Elvin Carrero, a veteran dental sales and marketing executive who serves as president of Tru Imaging. “The convenience and efficiency is sure to brighten your smile, while also relieving the headache of driving out of your way to offsite specialty imaging centers.”

It also saves time and gives peace of mind for busy dental practitioners, eliminating the need to make unnecessary referrals.

“In the new dynamic of coordinating outcomes for patients among labs, surgeons, and restorative doctors, nothing has brought more to the table in recent years than Cone Beam CT technology,” said Joseph Coursey, Master of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, of Russellville Dental Lab in Russellville, KY. “We've been able to coordinate cases with ease that may have been failures just a few short years ago. Cone Beam CT means that we're all on the same page before the patient has major work done.”

Tru Imaging is one of more than 24 different mobile imaging operations across the country utilizing NewTom Cone Beam 3D scanners that deliver this unique service to a market with an explosive demand. Tru Imaging is the latest addition of Elmsford, NY, -based ImageWorks Corporation, a leading provider of warrantied 3D mobile Cone Beam CT solutions, and represents the company’s growth into six new states nationwide.

Capturing the maxillofacial region in a scan provides the dental physician with a 3-dimensional representation of the maxillofacial skeleton. The NewTom VGi unit provides 1:1 cross-sectional images of the mandible and maxilla to assess the quality and quantity of bone, and spatial orientation of critical anatomical structures for pre- and post-insertion of implant fixtures. Other applications include analysis for TMJ, orthodontics, endodontics, and maxillofacial surgery as well as airway assessment essential for correcting obstructive sleep disorder.

The benefits of 3D mobile imaging and the NewTom VGi apply to both patient and physician. On-site CB3D scans, with immediate delivery to the doctor, offer greater treatment acceptance and increased office efficiency, and prestige. The patient enjoys the ultimate in customer service, while getting a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for a more predictable outcome. Patients also appreciate the continuity of care that the practice provides, including 100 times less radiation, when compared to a medical CT scan.
