So what’s been happening? Well as I’m sure you have noticed, it’s been a while since I posted anything. The reason is… busy. I don’t think I have ever been this busy in my life. I started reading CBCT scans on my own website at omrd.com. The feedback has been excellent and I get a… Continue reading 2023 Update

New OMR Program
A new oral and maxillofacial radiology program has just been announced at Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine. The program will begin July 1st, 2017. What does this mean?

Board Certification: Part 1
In three days I will be in the middle of the first part of the ABOMR examination. It allows me to become a board certified (as opposed to just certified) oral and maxillofacial radiologist. To become board certified, the examination is really split into two parts. First part is the written examination, which covers radiation… Continue reading Board Certification: Part 1
Dental MRI
If you couldn’t tell from my last post on SWIFT MRI. I am a huge fan of new and upcoming technology in dental imaging. The latest paper I found discusses creating an occlusal coil that patients bite into to visualize teeth. Here is the kicker… it works.

The codes also account for proper interpretation of… Continue reading New ADA Codes

Oh Anatomy…
In the next couple of weeks I have a head and neck anatomy exam coming up. I have to admit, I am a bit nervous about it. As always I am amazed by the number of different structures that are in the body. I am doubly impressed by how many structures are in the head… Continue reading Oh Anatomy…
Such a Better Semester
Now that I’m just over a month into this second semester of radiology, I have to say, I am glad I am here. I always was glad, but now things are relevant, interesting, you can place any good adjective you would like here.

I have had a great two weeks off. I am really excited about what is coming next semester. This is the point where things get interesting. I get to finally start taking CT scans as well as start reading and interpreting. I’m more excited about the reading and interpreting part. One of my weakest points… Continue reading New Year New Semester
