LED Dental Inc. has signed an exclusive one-year distribution agreement with Ray Co., Ltd. (Ray Co.) to market the RAYSCAN Alpha - Expert dental imaging system and the RIOSensor intraoral sensor in Canada. The RAYSCAN Alpha - Expert is a multi-function digital extraoral imaging system with 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as well as panoramic and cephalometric capabilities. The RAYSCAN Alpha - Expert's 3D images are captured using an optimal field of view, which is ideal for a wide variety of clinical applications.

The system's CMOS and direct deposition cesium iodide (CsI) detector ensure practitioners can quickly capture high-quality, 16-bit DICOM images. To minimize error from patient positioning and movement, the system's focal trough is stabilized and controlled through Adaptive Moving Focus technology. The RAYSCAN Alpha's exclusive denoising technology enhances image quality by removing noise that would otherwise blur the image.

Given its sleek design, the RAYSCAN Alpha - Expert can fit into nearly any practice floor plan. The system's height adjustment component means patients of all sizes, including those in wheelchairs, can fit comfortably in the unit. The RAYSCAN Alpha - Expert is also the world's first imaging system to utilize a wireless remote control for patient positioning.

LED lights indicate the status of the unit to practitioners at a glance: ready, standby, exposure and emergency. These components led to the RAYSCAN Alpha - Expert receiving both the red dot design award and International Design Excellence Bronze Award for its effective product design. In addition to the RAYSCAN Alpha - Expert's advanced imaging capabilities and unique design, the system also features an intuitive user interface to streamline the capture process and simplify the manipulation of images.

Health Canada recently approved the RIOSensor and also RAYSCAN's Alpha Panoramic and Cephalometric capabilities and is expected to approve RAYSCAN's cone beam computed tomography before the end of 2014. The RIOSensor, a high speed intraoral digital radiography system, will be the first offering in a range of additional product lines that LED Medical will distribute as part of the distribution agreement with Ray Co. The RIOSensor, is offered in two sizes and delivers high resolution intraoral x-ray images with resolution up to 25 lp/mm.
