NewTom VG makes use of the same technology and proprietary software as AFP Imaging's NewTom[TM] 3G that provides a horizontal support table to accommodate the needs of the elderly, infirm or trauma patients, as well as small children. AFP Imaging is the only Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanning supplier to currently provide both vertical and horizontal configurations. The products are manufactured by Quantitative Radiology, srl (QR) Verona, Italy, a wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary

 of AFP Imaging. For over ten years, QR has been a global CBCT leader and is the Company's research, development and manufacturing source for the proprietary NewTom technology.

David Vozick, Chairman of AFP Imaging, said, "The dental profession increasingly recognizes the value of three-dimensional imaging over historic two-dimensional analog X-ray films or digital radiographs. The NewTom VG, as well as the NewTom 3G, provides more accurate images to facilitate patient evaluations, treatment planning and clinical efficiency. We believe that three-dimensional radiography is becoming the standard of care in dentistry and other professions for diagnosis and treatment of these complex cases."
