Hello!

Well, I guess the cat is out of the bag. CTI has been working on 3-D imaging

system for some time--as they tend to do, dotting all the i's and crossing all

the t's! I can tell you that CTI has two studies underway in Phoenix. I've seen

the technical report [it's very impressive]. I gave Tim a call to see what

information I could share. I'm slowly twisting his arm to see if I can release

the technical report on www.Plagiocephaly.org. Here's what I can tell you so

far:

The CTI imaging systems:

*captures a full 360 degree image, including top of the head

*is not affected by motion of infant

*takes only 0.006 seconds to capture image

*the infant sits on stool w/ parent supporting

*is accurate to +/- 0.50 mm

*uses no lasers

*position / orientation of infant is not critical

*the images can be viewed as: Photograph, surface, or wire frame

*generates a difference map between pre and post-treatment images

That's it for now. Hope to have more to say later. However, I promise you that

when the studies are published, the final report will be available on

www.Plagiocephaly.org. The technical report looks good, but maybe the mom whose

child had it done can tell us what the experience was like. BTW, did you

get to see the data?
