I haven’t understood why, so far, there was no engineering team that set their minds to produce a cone beam CT machine that has multiple fields of view (FOV). Carestream Dental (AKA Koda) has finally released a machine that allows you to choose a large FOV or several different smaller ones. This should help tremendously… Continue reading Finally, One Machine & Multiple FOV

Last Week of Work
Being a general dentist was fun and this week will mark the end of it for me. At least for a while and hopefully forever. It is a somewhat sad and somewhat happy transition. This is a huge change, from going from a mainly surgical type of practice to a completely non-surgical practice. Many questions… Continue reading Last Week of Work
Summer Semester and Some Challenges
As of today I am finally registered for classes and paid my tuition. Getting to this point was the most difficult task. I had many holds on my account. As a newly registered student I was baffled by this. Most of them were taken care of by the department, sign this paper here and that… Continue reading Summer Semester and Some Challenges
Affiliate Member AAOMR
I am finally approved to be an affiliate member of AAOMR. The entire process took around 8 months from the time of application to time of actually membership. I’m glad to be a member, and hopefully I can get involved as soon as possible. Maybe I can streamline the application and approval process.
Osirix Update
Thanks to this latest release of Osirix, I have been contemplating getting a new computer. Osirix is a wonderfully free DICOM viewer with a ton of capability. I am more than impressed with this software and more than likely to continue using this software. The problem is that my three year old computer just doesn’t… Continue reading Osirix Update

Frustration with AAOMR
I’m a bit frustrated with AAOMR and their lack of organization. To give you some background, I have applied to be a member, and paid my dues over six months ago. Since then I have tried emailing several times, back and forth to see what the status of my application is. Honestly I have never… Continue reading Frustration with AAOMR
SWIFT MRI
After a long day of work today, I came home to just simply lay down in bed and relax and read some news. One of the things I have always been interested in is finding out a way to be able to image teeth without using ionizing radiation. Well, low and behold, I’m looking at Dr… Continue reading SWIFT MRI
Sirona’s New Orthophos XG 3D
I was recently having a conversation with a Sirona sales rep and decided to open up the world of cone beam with him. Turns out Sirona is on the cusp of releasing a new cone beam CT machine aimed at the general dentist and orthodontist. The Orthophos XG 3D is a dual function machine. It… Continue reading Sirona’s New Orthophos XG 3D
What a Mess. What a Feeling.
Several days ago I received an email from the program coordinator stating that I haven’t sent in my official signed acceptance. To add to the drama, the day the email was sent is the same day for the deadline to reply. So here I am, checking my mail every day thinking that it should get… Continue reading What a Mess. What a Feeling.
