Affordable New Point-of-Care CT System for Otolaryngology Practices

ROCHESTER, N.Y., September 22, 2010 — Leveraging over 100 years of expertise in diagnostic imaging, Carestream Health (formerly Kodak’s Health Group) announces a new point-of-care CT imaging system designed for otolaryngology practices. Built on a proven point-of-care CT platform with an installed base of over 2,000 CT systems, the new CS 9300 System* is designed for affordability and provides superior image quality for the most difficult-to-see temporal bone structures.

The CS 9300 System will be previewed at the American Association of Otolaryngology Administration’s Annual Conference (AOA), in Boston, Massachusetts, September 22-25, with a complete unveiling scheduled for the following weekend during the AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting in Boston.

“Along with its proven reliability, the CS 9300 System’s low purchase and operating costs extend the benefits of point-of-care CT scanning—namely, faster and more convenient diagnosis and treatment, improved patient compliance, and increased revenue—to practices of all sizes,” explained Karen Ruckman, Global Director, Growth Initiatives, Carestream Health.

The CS 9300 System utilizes state-of-the-art cone beam CT technology to deliver clear, detailed sinus images and superior temporal bone visibility. In addition, the system utilizes approximately 75-90% less radiation dose than conventional CT units, and includes , numerous otolaryngology-specific features such as sinus segmentation, and right, left, and dual temporal bone views.
