	"I am very excited about the ability to update the CT scan in our Computer Assisted Image Navigation with real time images during surgery. The low radiation dose makes it possible to scan a patient towards the end of a surgery and identify what, if any, disease we may have left, and then go and remove it while the patient is still asleep. I think that this opens new opportunities within the field of endoscopic sinus surgery." David W. Kennedy, M.D. F.A.C.S. Professor and Director, Division of Rhinology, Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery University of Pennsylvania Health System
	"The ability to do a CT scan during the operation dramatically improves the care I can give selected patients, such as those with skull base tumors I am removing through a minimally invasive approach." James N. Palmer, M.D. Assistant Professor Division of Rhinology, Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery University of Pennsylvania Health System
	"I have found the xCAT® ENT to be an incredible tool for use in complex endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery. The images are of high quality and can be integrated into your surgical navigation systems within minutes for a real-time update. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the machine is the quick scanning time and compact size of the machine—the whole process takes a few minutes of time and a few additional feet of space." Alexander G. Chiu, M.D. Assistant Professor Division of Rhinology, Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery University of Pennsylvania Health System
	ENT Specialists - Salt Lake City, UT "It’s much better to sit down, show them the anatomy and give them a lesson about what’s going on. Compliance is much better when they’re informed." Dr. Randal W. Swenson "The images are exceptionally good, I enjoy scrolling through the slices to get a three-dimensional, almost motion picture of the sinuses." Dr. David K. Palmer "Occasionally, I decide not to operate on patients I would’ve operated on in the past due to the finer image slices the MiniCAT™ gives us. The finer cuts make a difference in what we’re seeing. In terms of being more selective in my surgical patients, it’s been helpful." Dr. Jerry W. Sonkens “It absolutely helps us. For one thing, it often differentiates whether a problem lies in the sinuses or elsewhere. If somewhere else, we can often spare our patients having to take a round of expensive antibiotics.” Dr. John E. Butler
Robert Glazer, CEO ENT & Allergy Associates David Bough, MD ENT & Allergy Associates ENT & Allergy Video	ENT and Allergy Associates - White Plains, Bronx and Tarrytown, NY "The high-quality images we’re getting, the speed with which they’re acquired, the added patient comfort, and the reduction in radiation dose, (compared with full-body CT scanners), are great things for the patient. With the system here, patients can receive an immediate diagnosis rather than having to wait days or weeks." Anthony Stella, CT Scan Manager "This is the most important piece of technology I’ve seen in 25 years. The Xoran system has clearly taken CT to a new level." Dr. Ryback "The beauty of this system is its cost and its size. It fits into a 6 X 9 foot room, weighs 450 pounds, and does not require structural reinforcement. From a patient’s perspective, it is less intimidating than conventional scanners." Robert A. Glazer, CEO "The hospital is overbooked with turnaround time in one to two weeks, but now we can image them right here. We save patients hours of time. When they find out they can get it done here, they’re ecstatic." Elisa Pizzuti, Medical Assistant “It’s also more efficient. Patients get in and out faster, they get the results of their scan more quickly, our doctors can make decisions almost instantaneously, and patients begin treatment and get well much sooner. The MiniCAT™ has led to a better experience for both our doctors and their patients.” Edward Sabino, Director of Sleep Diagnostics and Radiology “I have patients come in and minutes later, I’ll have a diagnosis. This truly represents radiologic imaging advancement and brings 21st century medicine to our patients.” Dr. Ryback
Jim Paine, MD Mountain State ENT and Facial Plastic Surgery	Mountain State ENT and Facial Plastic Surgery - Beckley, WV "The Xoran system has really helped to streamline the image-guided surgery process. We import the images directly from our CT scanner into our navigation system. Because the scanner is right here, we have more control over the imaging protocols - that gives us image consistency from patient to patient." Dr. James Paine "Being able to treat on the day of a patient’s visit has to save the payors money. The scanner eliminates two office visits and saves the patients – especially working patients – time." Lisa Sisk, Surgery Center Administrator "MiniCAT™ is convenient for the patient and the doctor. Any time everyone benefits, you come out ahead." Dr. David A. Blaine "The images are every bit as good as the ones we were getting at the hospital. In some cases, they may be better." Dr. Albert Paine “The Xoran system has really helped to streamline the image-guided surgery process. We import the images directly from our CT scanner into our navigation system. Because the scanner is right here, we have more control over the imaging protocols – that gives us image consistency from patient to patient.” Dr. James Paine
