i-CAT 3D IMAGING INFORMATION

Escott Orthodontics utilizes advanced 3D imaging to improve planning for orthodontic treatment and to complement the advanced orthodontic treatment methods that we utilize.

WHAT IS 3D CBCT IMAGING?
These images are acquired through i-CAT Cone Beam Computer Assembled Tomography (CBCT). This technology is sometimes referred to as 3D x-rays. Using CBCT scans means we have the ability to take 3D images of teeth, jaws, and facial structures with significantly less x-ray exposure than a typical CT scan used in hospitals. This CBCT imaging is included in your orthodontic consultation and treatment at no additional fee.

UNDERSTANDING THE OPTION FOR RADIOLOGIST REVIEW
At Escott Orthodontics, CBCT scans are utilized for the limited purpose of evaluating teeth, jaws and facial structures for orthodontic treatment. Our dental specialty training is not sufficient for evaluating and diagnosing outside those areas. However, CBCT imaging can reveal a broad spectrum of medical conditions and pathology, including evidence of disease of the skull, TMJ, cervical spine, or arteries. Therefore, we offer each patient the opportunity to have a CBCT scan read by a radiologist trained and licensed to evaluate and diagnose a broader area. If elected, the cost for this service may not be covered by your insurance. This fee includes radiologist review of the patient’s CBCT scan, and a written report of radiologist findings. Our office will manage all necessary steps to submit the scan for radiologist review, and we will provide you a written summary of the findings once available from the radiologist. If you are interested in this service, please indicate YES in the consent form below.

RADIOLOGIST REVIEW CONSENT or WAIVER
The patient acknowledges he/she has been informed that CBCT scans are made at Escott Orthodontics for the sole purpose of planning orthodontic treatment and are not reviewed for any other diagnostic purposes. The patient acknowledges that he/she understands the doctors and employees of Escott Orthodontics are not trained radiologists and are not qualified to diagnose many conditions, pathology, or other findings that may be revealed on a CBCT scan. The patient acknowledges he/she has been given the option to forward the CBCT scan to a licensed radiologist for review at the cost of $149.00. The patient has elected one of the two options below:
