Oral And Maxillofacials Radiology

Oral and maxillofacial radiology (OMFR), also known as dental and maxillofacial radiology (DMFR), is the specialty of dentistry concerned with performance and interpretation of diagnostic imaging used for examining the craniofacial, dental and adjacent structures.[1][2]

Oral and maxillofacial imaging includes cone beam CT, multislice CT, MRI, PET, ultrasound, panoramic radiography, cephalometric imaging, intra-oral imaging (e.g. bitewing, peri-apical and occlusal radiographs) in addition to special tests like sialographs. Other modalities, including optical coherence tomography are also under development for dental imaging.
