AFP Captures Italian Firm’s 3-D Imaging Device

AFP Imaging Corporation, of Elmsford, NY, has successfully completed the acquisition of Quantitative Radiology (QR), an Italian firm for which AFP has been the exclusive North American distributor for the past year. Most notably, with the acquisition comes QR’s principal product, a digital x-ray device that builds three dimensional images from captured data. Primary users of the device, called NewTom3G, include dentists, implantologists, oral surgeons, orthodontists and dental radiologists, as well as ear, nose and throat doctors. Currently, there are about 500 installed units in dental and medical offices around the world. And a new NewTom model is on the way: the Vertical Generation, which allows patients to stand, sit or be in a wheel chair while being scanned.
