BURBANK, Calif., April 24, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Imaging3(tm), Inc., (OTCBB:IMGG), developer of a breakthrough medical imaging device that produces 3D medical diagnostic images of virtually any part of the human body in real-time, today provided an overview of the role of its upcoming new product, The Dominion(tm) in meeting the newly evolving needs of the trauma care world.
Emergency rooms and trauma care centers are experiencing a dramatic increase in the number of patients they see for non-emergency ailments because of changes in the way insurance providers address the marketplace. This shift in medical practice is placing a greater burden on the emergency room staff and increasing their need for diagnostic imaging equipment. The Dominion is designed to meet this demand by providing instantaneous three-dimensional images in a single device that is also mobile and versatile. Having a breakthrough medical imaging device which can move from room to room, and plug into common wall power is an extremely important development for this critical care market segment.
"The Dominion's ability to immediately provide 3D images in the emergency room is a fundamental advance in trauma care. Imaging3 can bring the diagnostic power of internal imaging to the patient's bedside and help the emergency care facility decrease time to treatment. This saves lives, and not inconsequentially, provides a cost benefit for the hospital as well," said Dean Janes, Imaging3's CEO.
Imaging3's breakthrough 3D imaging technology emulates a CT scanner, thus providing an immediate diagnostic tool not currently available to the ER staff. In order to render a diagnosis and then develop a treatment protocol, the ER physician must prescribe a CT scan to get a multi-dimensional view of internal organs and structures. Existing technology and procedures available today dictates that a patient must be taken to the Radiology Department and fit into the busy schedule of an overworked CT system. This often results in a wait time for the patient of hours and in some cases weeks if there is no immediate emergency. Using the Dominion(tm) the ER physician can perform this procedure immediately and provide a rapid diagnosis, thus saving time, lives and money.
