oral and maxillofacial radiology
One of nine specialties of dentistry, oral and maxillofacial radiology is concerned with the production and interpretation of radiographic images used to treat disorders of the oral cavity, jaws, head and neck.
To become an oral and maxillofacial radiologist, the dentist must complete a residency from an ADA accredited program. Training includes interpretation of maxillofacial CT, CBCT, tomograms, MRI, ultrasound technology, etc.

The Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) accredits imaging practices specific to Dental CT. IAC accreditation is a means by which practices can evaluate and demonstrate the level of patient care provided. IAC Dental CT accreditation is granted for a three-year period from the original date of decision. Varying per modality and practice setting, IAC Dental CT accreditation is required in some U.S. states and regions, by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and by numerous private insurers.
Carolina OMF Imaging became accredited by the IAC initially in 2014. For more information, go to www.intersocietal.org
