Our vision is to create a revolution in medical imaging with Cone Beam CT technology. The first Koning CT will enable clinicians to significantly improve the way they visualize and evaluate specific body parts such as breast, hands, feet and extremities. Future applications of Cone Beam CT can be expected to optimize early disease detection, diagnosis, intervention, and treatment in these and other areas of the body, thus improving survival rates and outcomes for millions of patients. The power, versatility, and lower costs of Cone Beam CT will serve as a viable substitute for many traditional X-ray projection imaging applications and ultimately replace current CT.
