Oral and Maxillofacial

Imaging Center

We are Indianapolis' most advanced imaging center for the face, teeth, and jaws. At OMFIC, we utilize the latest state of the art equipment available, which permits the lowest radiation dose possible, while producing the clearest, highest detailed images of your patients for a complete 3D diagnosis and interactive treatment planning.

3dMD

Internal 3D Imaging techniques such as MRI scans have been used by physicians for years, but until today you may have never seen an external 3D imagining of yourself or your child; one which appears as a realistic-looking digital sculpture displayed on the computer. The anatomical truth associated with the 3dMD image makes it an invaluable tool for ongoing examination and surgical/treatment planning when combined with a powerful 3D software tool.

Radiographic Interpretation for CBCT

Why, How, and Who Should Do It

With the introduction of Cone Beam CT (CBCT) technology in dentistry, the diagnostic information that is offered surpasses the limitations that we were challenged with in the past when using 2D imaging. CBCT provides significant diagnostic and clinical benefits but with the use of it, comes the responsibility for adequate training to maximize the diagnostic and therapeutically potential of the information.

Blog: What is

Cone Beam Computer Tomography?

CBCT is a digital x-ray scanner specifically designed for scanning the head and jaws. The scanner rotates 360 degrees around the patient's head in a matter of seconds. The x-ray is a low energy fixed anode tube similarly used in panoramic machines. This method reduces radiation scatter common to most conventional x-rays. The cone shaped x-ray provides 360 views that can be presented in 2D image and 3D volume for advanced planning and diagnostic support.
