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?

OsiriX Dental Plugin
If you are a Mac user and an OMR then you’ve probably tried to use OsiriX before to look at CBCT scans. You’ve also probably noticed that it is missing some basic features that are really necessary for OMR and the dental field all together. I’m pleased to find a new plugin has emerged for OsiriX that… Continue reading OsiriX Dental Plugin
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. It is not amazing, but I do believe that… Continue reading Dental MRI
New ADA Codes

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

Latest OsiriX Version Available
Osirix was just updated to work with OS X Lion. This is my favorite DICOM viewer and has always been pretty impressive. Only thing is it needs the interface to be updated and unified a bit more. It’s a bit all over the place.
Is General Radiology Over?
I found an interesting article discussing whether general radiology is needed anymore or are the subspecialties taking over. I would imagine that just as with any health practice, eventually it becomes more specialized and more diversified as knowledge increases. It used to be that doctors did everything, now there are many specialties in medicine. The… Continue reading Is General Radiology Over?
