Total airway volume, minimal cross section area, length and width can help determine the area of constriction as well as compare pre and post treatment in OSA patients. With the overlapping anatomical structures, ghost images, blurring, and sheer amount of anatomy visualized in these images, it is surprising that more dentists don’t ask for a second opinion from an oral radiologist. At Oral Radiologists, LLC, Ksi Slots we feel happy and privileged to be able to offer these services as we have seen it benefit the lives of countless patients like you! We are committed to thoroughly understanding every detail in a cbct volume or other images, maintaining high standards of radiographic interpretation. We frequently collaborate with each other, other oral radiologists, neuroradiologists, and other health professionals to ensure comprehensive analysis.
Submit a cone beam CT, panoramic or any other maxillofacial image for radiologic interpretation, implant planning, nerve tracing, or airway analysis. On the bright side, we’ve smoothed out most website kinks—uploads flow well now, except for some lingering issues on Internet Explorer. A sneak peek is up on YouTube, but it’s proving more time-intensive than expected. We’ve posted a couple of introductory cone-beam CT (CBCT) case examples on our YouTube Channel, highlighting some common findings. This website, oralradiologists.com, is primed with HIPAA-compliant file transfers (thanks, Justin!) and custom blogging tools.
It may also include the thought process behind why different diagnoses were considered when constructing a differential diagnosis. This includes detailed description of different parts of an entity and its effect on other structures, and may include implications of features of an entity on potential diagnosis. A standard report will have a more basic description of the findings, perhaps a bullet point list of findings, without detailed description of the findings or its implications. These include arterial calcifications, sinus diseases, skull base lesions, neck and TMJ arthritis, and any variety of cysts, tumors or infections in any of these anatomical structures. As a result of our reports, it is common that an immediate need for further dental treatment is discovered.
Follow this link for an explanation as well as examples of our thorough CBCT reports. Let us meticulously analyze each CBCT volume, enabling you to redirect your focus towards more lucrative and rewarding aspects of patient care. Dr. Mecham, during his tenure as a dental resident in the Air Force, had the privilege of placing numerous implants under the direct guidance of an oral surgeon. But isn't it equally crucial to provide the most accurate interpretation and diagnoses possible from images? Consider the analogy of implant placement or surgical extractions.
