ORIGINAL: LED Imaging Partners with The University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry to Provide Students with Advanced Imaging Technology

2014-04-22 14:03 ET - News Release

BURNABY, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/22/14

LED Medical Diagnostics Inc. ("LED Medical" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: LMD)(OTCQX: LEDIF)(FRANKFURT: LME) is pleased to announce that the LED Imaging Division of its wholly-owned US operating subsidiary, LED Dental Ltd. ("LED Dental") has entered a partnership with the UT College of Dentistry. Through this partnership, students, residents and faculty at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry will now have access to new, sophisticated oral and maxillofacial imaging technology. Residents and dental students will receive hands-on training with the RAYSCAN alpha - Expert, a multi-function digital imaging system, as part of their clinical training. This partnership demonstrates LED Imaging's commitment to providing revolutionary technology to the dental industry and enhancing the education offered to the dentists and dental specialists of tomorrow.

"LED Imaging's technology is vital to our clinical efforts and a tremendous asset to our students, faculty and community," said Professor and Dean of the UT College of Dentistry Dr. Timothy Hottel. "The RAYSCAN alpha - Expert puts some of the best oral health imaging technology on the market in the hands of our students, so our graduates can feel confident that they received the highest diagnostic training available and will be able to apply what they learned when caring for their patients."

The RAYSCAN alpha - Expert features 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), panoramic and cephalometric capabilities. The system, developed by Ray Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Samsung, secures the images practitioners need to make fast and accurate diagnoses. The RAYSCAN alpha - Expert's 3D images are captured using an optimal 9 cm x 9 cm field of view, while its 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 alpha - Expert's exclusive noise-reduction algorithms enhance image quality by removing image noise that could otherwise blur the image.

"The dental industry is rapidly adopting 3D technology, and it is becoming the standard of care in certain clinical applications," said Lamar Roberts, president of LED Imaging. "We strongly believe that the use of advanced CBCT imaging is essential to the diagnostic training of the next generation of dental practitioners. We are excited to champion this endeavor with the UT College of Dentistry, and we look forward to partnering with other academic institutions in the future."

The RAYSCAN alpha - Expert, the world's first imaging system to utilize a wireless remote control for patient positioning, helps teach students the techniques for proper patient positioning for panoramic, cephalometric and CBCT image acquisition. Additionally, green, blue, yellow and red LED illumination indicates the status of the unit to the students at a glance: ready, standby, exposure and emergency, respectively. This ensures they are able to capture images effectively and efficiently for more accurate diagnoses.

This new equipment brings the latest in dental imaging technology to the University's on-campus teaching clinic. The clinic provides learning opportunities for students and oral health care to the community, averaging more than 52,000 patient visits a year.
