FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OCTOBER 16, 2009
WILMINGTON, Massachusetts, October 16, 2009 Dimensional Photonics International, Inc. (DPI), a leading developer of high performance three-dimensional (3D) digital shape scanners will be attending the American Society of Anesthesiologists' Annual Meeting in New Orleans October 17-21, 2009. The purpose of attending the meetings is to further explore the potential uses of DPI's proprietary technology to meet the needs of the medical profession.DPI has been engaged in conversations with leading experts across many aspects of medicine and life science. These discussions have identified a number of promising matches between unmet or underserved needs in medicine and life science with current and future capabilities of DPI's proprietary technology. The potential opportunities are in diagnostics, surgery and other routine medical procedures.
As an illustration, Dr. Jacek A. Wojtczak, M.D., Ph.D., from University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry (Rochester, New York) will make a presentation titled "Accuracy of Low-Cost 3D Surface Contour Laser Scanner for the Quantitative Evaluation of the Airway". Dr. Wojtczak approached DPI as a potential solutions provider to explore new approaches to preoperative airway evaluation.
"We are excited about the opportunities ahead," says Olaf N. Krohg, DPI’s CEO. "We have identified potential opportunities across a wide and varied range of healthcare, medical and life science fields from dermatology, endoscopes for diagnostics, preoperative and surgical applications to scanning ears for hearing aid fitting."
