ROCHESTER, NY - Carestream Health, Inc., the exclusive manufacturer of KODAK Dental Systems, will begin selling and shipping the ILUMA Cone Beam CT System in Canada.

The ILUMA Cone Beam CT (computed tomography) System provides anatomically accurate 3-D radiographic images for diagnosis, planning and treatment of oral surgery, orthodontics and other dental procedures. Undistorted, anatomically correct views of the jaws, teeth and facial bones along with cross-sectional (bucco-lingual), axial, coronal, sagittal, cephalometric and panoramic views are easily generated with the system.

The ILUMA System has one of the highest image resolutions in the industry, delivering 14-bit grayscale images and 0.09 mm3 voxel (VOlume piXEL), the measure of 3-D image resolution.

"We are delighted that dental practices in Canada will now be able to leverage the powerful ILUMA System," said Ruth Arbuckle, US/C General Manager and Canadian Sales Manager, Dental Business for Carestream Health. "Three-dimensional imaging is an exciting area of dentistry, providing a level of anatomical accuracy and patient care not possible with 2-D technologies."

Through a distribution agreement with IMTEC Imaging, Carestream Health is the exclusive distributor of the system for the U.S. and Canadian dental markets. Numerous sales and installations have already occurred in the US market with great success. The ILUMA system has recently received a medical device license from Health Canada and is now available for immediate sale and installation in the Canadian markets.
