LED Medical, Samsung unit to sell dental-imaging system

LED MEDICAL INC. ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN LED DENTAL LTD. AND RAY CO., LTD., A SUBSIDIARY OF SAMSUNG

LED Imaging, the new dental-imaging division of LED Medical Diagnostics Inc.'s wholly owned operating subsidiary, LED Dental Ltd., has partnered with Ray Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Samsung, to sell, install and provide support for the Rayscan Alpha Expert dental-imaging system.

The Rayscan Alpha Expert is a multifunction digital extraoral imaging system with 3-D cone-beam-computed-tomography, 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 Alpha Expert's 3-D images are captured using an optimal nine-centimetre-by-nine-centimetre field of view, which is ideal for a wide variety of clinical applications. The system's CMOS and direct deposition cesium iodide 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 Alpha's exclusive denoising technology enhances image quality by removing noise that would otherwise blur the image.

Due to 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. 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 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. The system utilizes Xelis 3-D 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, chief executive officer 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."

We seek Safe Harbor.
