Sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, are increasingly becoming common conditions in both adults and children. These conditions can lead to a range of health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. The i-CAT FLX V10 and V17 technology offer clinicians insights into the patient's airway obstructions and provide recommendations for appropriate treatments.

The i-CAT FLX V10 and V17 technology offer volumetric evaluation of the nasal, nasopharyngeal, velopharynx, and hypopharynx in suspect airway or sinus tissues. The Tx STUDIO software allows for a comprehensive review of 3D data to reveal restricted airways, trace airways, and calculate measurements of paranasal sinuses to evaluate treatment options accurately. The system produces color-coded constriction values that assess airway volume at a glance. It provides clinicians with precise anatomical views and measurements, making it easier to determine the appropriate treatment plan.

Dr. Steven R. Olmos, founder of the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre International, LLC, explains the importance of volumetric evaluation and the nasal, nasopharyngeal, velopharynx, and hypopharynx in diagnosing these conditions. "In my business, I have to figure out why people hurt and don't breathe. Since orthopedic disorders of the TMJs and facial pain are often the result of breathing disorders, volumetric evaluation of the nasal, nasopharyngeal, velopharynx, and hypopharynx is absolute. My i-CAT FLX reliability gives me this vital information with the lowest radiation dose possible. In fact, the i-CAT FLX does it so much easier with a fraction of the radiation."

The i-CAT FLX is FDA cleared, providing sufficient and appropriate data from 3D volumes of maxillofacial anatomical structures, including the airway. This data aids clinicians in the treatment planning of patients with OSA.
