CAT Scan – Kodak 9500 Cone Beam Scanner

Dr. Fitzgerald’s office is the first office in Texas to have the Kodak 9500 cone beam scanner. The 9500 is the premiere scanner in the world. It offers superior image quality while maintaining minimal radiation. It is a mid field and large field scanner combined.

Dr. Lee Fitzgerald uses the three-dimensional CAT scan along with SimPlant and Nobelguide planning software to accurately plan your surgery. This imaging technology is the most accurate way to plan your surgery.

Above is a CAT scan image – the purple/blue image is the proposed dental implant site, which is measured against the available bone that can be seen as a white colored area around the implant marker. This imaging system allows for more predictable dental implant placement into better bone sites. It is an invaluable tool for surgical planning. The better the plan, the better the result.
