What Is I-CAT For?
i-CAT is a form of computer-aided tomography (CAT, sometimes called computed tomography, CT), known as cone-beam. You could think of the machine similar to an old coin-operated photo booth. While you are sitting in the chair it takes a series of pictures. These are then assembled by the computer into a three-dimensional images of your head and dental anatomy.
The Benefits Of I-CAT
i-CAT helps to assess areas of concern in high-resolution and 3-D. This can aid in planning your treatment and ensuring you receive the best possible treatment. The i-CAT allows Dr. Westman to image parts of the head and mouth, such as the temporomandibular joint, that are difficult to view with more traditional images. The data is easily transferable, so Dr. Westman can work more effectively with other dental professionals, like orthodontists, ENT’s and implant specialists when necessary.
