Dental CT for Implant Planning

Advanced Imaging Center is proud to introduce CT scanning for dental implant planning. Using a scan protocol reviewed at Yale University, we provide you with vital information about your patient’s dental anatomy.

The study is performed on our multislice helical CT scanner.  One-millimeter scans are performed through the mandible and/or maxilla. The scans are then sent to an advanced workstation where they are reconstructed to display both panoramic and transverse views. The scan images are then printed in true anatomical scale on full size radiographic film. The whole process is very quick. Films are ready for pickup or delivery that same day, often within thirty minutes.

Some Highlights:

 

   -         Same day scheduling and turn around

   -         Convenient delivery of films to your office

   -         True anatomic scale images

   -         Actual radiographic film, no photo or inkjet paper images

   -         Also available, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) MRI

Facts about services at AIC

1.     The only community-based, private-practice, physician-operated imaging facility in the Antelope Valley, just like any other private practice medical office.   Not belonging to any hospital or outside imaging network.   This means more personal and caring service.

2.     AIC was the first MRI-accredited site in the Antelope Valley ... approved by the American College of Radiology's MRI Accreditation Committee.

3.     Dr. Ray Hashemi is the only radiologist in the area with fellowship training in ALL aspects of MRI, including neuro and musculoskeletal MRI.

 

Why is AIC the PIONEER in advanced medical imaging in the Antelope Valley?

1.     AIC was the first to introduce a high-quality OPEN MRI (open-air or open-sided MRI) to the Antelope Valley (January 1998).

2.     AIC was the first to introduce Short-bore OPEN High-Field (1.5 Tesla) MRI to the Antelope Valley (January 1999).

3.    AIC was the first to introduce multi-slice CT (MSCT) to the Antelope Valley (August 1999); upgraded to a 16-slice CT in 2003.

4.     AIC was the first to introduce revolutionary 3D Ultrasound to the Antelope Valley (April 1999); upgraded to a GE 4D Ultrasound in 2004.

5.     AIC was the first to introduce a PET scanner to the Antelope Valley (July 1999).

6.     AIC was the first to achieve MRI Accreditation in the Antelope Valley (July 2000).
