LED Imaging Announces Partnership with Ray Co., Ltd., a Subsidiary of Samsung
LED Imaging now sells, installs and supports the
RAYSCAN α – Expert multi-function dental imaging system
ATLANTA – April 3, 2014 – LED
Imaging, the new dental imaging division of LED Dental Ltd. (“LED
Dental” or the “Company”) announced today that it is partnering with Ray
Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Samsung, to sell, install and provide
support for the RAYSCAN α – Expert dental imaging system. The RAYSCAN α – Expert
is a multi-function digital extraoral imaging system with 3D cone beam
computed tomography (CBCT), panoramic and cephalometric capabilities.
Ray Co. is the first partner to join LED Imaging’s product portfolio
since the company announced its expansion into the dental imaging
category and emergent product offerings.
“We
are very excited about working with Ray Co. and Samsung to provide
practitioners with a compact, yet powerful, CBCT imaging system to
capture the crisp, high-quality images needed for diagnosis and
treatment,” said Lamar Roberts, president of LED Imaging. “We understand
what practitioners want and need, so partnerships like this give us an
advantage to provide the best technology available in each product
category.”
The RAYSCAN α – Expert’s
3D images are captured using an optimal 9 cm x 9 cm 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 at a
low radiation dose. To minimize error from patient positioning and
movement, the system’s focal trough is stabilized and controlled through
Adaptive Moving Focus technology. The RAYSCAN α’s exclusive denoising technology enhances image quality by removing noise that would otherwise blur the image.
Due to its sleek design, the RAYSCAN α – 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 α – Expert
is also the world’s first imaging system to utilize a wireless remote
control for patient positioning. Additionally, green, blue, yellow and
red LED lights indicate the status of the unit to practitioners at a
glance: ready, standby, exposure and emergency. These components led to
the RAYSCAN α – Expert receiving both the red dot design
award and International Design Excellence Bronze Award for its effective
product design.
In addition to the RAYSCAN α – 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. The system utilizes Xelis 3D
Imaging Software, which features state-of-the art functionality and a
comprehensive implant planning module.
“With
the legal close of our business partnership with LED Imaging, we're one
step closer to bringing oral health practitioners a strong manufacturer
that offers greater dental products and access to more services in the
U.S. market,” said Dr. Sangchul Lee, CEO of Ray Co. “As such, we’re
proud to align our product with the LED Imaging brand due to its solid
leadership team with both clinical and industry experience.”
Ray
Co. is Samsung’s first subsidiary business venture in the dental
technology industry. Samsung is a worldwide leader in technology and
electronics. LED Imaging will offer nationwide service and technical
support for the RAYSCAN α - Expert. To learn more about LED Imaging,
