• nThe Imaging Center uses Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) technology to capture craniofacial (head) three dimensional radiographic information.

• The CBCT device we currently use is the Hitachi CB MercuRay adjusted to our specific needs.

• Three dimensional images provide a more accurate representation of our patients, since they are three dimensional entities.  A more accurate representation results in more accurate and precise diagnosis, and potentially a more effective treatment.

• Different medical and dental specialties have been using the Imaging Center, including anesthesiology, ENT, family dentists, oral surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, plastic surgery, and prosthodontics.

    IMPORTANT NOTES

• The Imaging Center is different from the rest of the Dental School.

• nThe patient is not included in the school database, and never becomes a school patient.

• nWhen an external referral sends a patient, the referral will be using the Imaging Center, not the dental school.

• nThe Center is located in the Third Floor in the Dental School Building, away from the clinics, with separate staff, sseparate billing and scheduling

• nDoctor and Patient are contacted directly, and upon appointment patient would come directly to the third floor.  Assistance is available to make sure that the patient sent does not get lost or goes to the wrong place.

• nInformation collected is only sent to referring doctor.

• nThe patient comes to the third floor and leaves the third floor without going through any clinical, treatment, information or billing areas

• nThe reason is we want everybody to use us.  We want private practitioners to feel comfortable sending us patients and taking advantage of this cutting edge technology.

• Please contact us at (216) 368-2674 if special arrangements are preferred.
