A structure that appears white or bright on a radiograph, indicating high density.

An anatomical landmark formed by the merging of the anterior border of the maxillary sinus and the lateral wall of the nasal fossa. It's visible in the canine or premolar region.

Inflammation of the bone and bone marrow, usually caused by infection.

Structures that appear white on a radiograph are radiopaque, indicating high density. Examples include bone, calcifications, sialoliths, exostosis, enostosis.

An imaging technique that uses contrast dye to visualize the salivary ducts and glands. It's helpful for detecting stones or narrowing of the ducts.

A CT scan that uses contrast agent to highlight blood vessels. It assists in assessing blood flow and detecting blockages.

A type of 3D X-ray specifically designed for dentistry. It provides detailed images of teeth, bones, and surrounding tissues.

A heart pacemaker is a contraindication for MRI because the strong magnetic field can interfere with the device's function.

A type of MRI image where fat appears bright (white) and water appears dark (black).

An imaging technique that uses contrast dye to visualize the inside of a joint, such as the TMJ (temporomandibular joint).

A type of X-ray that captures a wide view of the entire upper and lower jaw, useful for assessing multiple teeth and bones.

A type of X-ray where the film is placed inside the mouth to obtain detailed images of specific teeth.

A method in intraoral radiography where the X-ray beam is directed perpendicular to the film, minimizing distortion.

A method in intraoral radiography where the X-ray beam is directed perpendicular to an imaginary line that bisects the angle between the tooth and the film.

The three basic types of intraoral radiographs are periapical, bitewing, and occlusal.

An intraoral X-ray that shows the crowns of both upper and lower teeth, focusing on the biting surfaces and interproximal spaces.

An intraoral X-ray that shows the entire dental arch, useful for locating impacted teeth, cysts, or other abnormalities.

Tooth decay, caused by bacteria breaking down tooth enamel resulting in radiolucent areas.

A radiographic artifact that can mimic dental caries, but is actually a normal variation in the X-ray image.

Gum disease, affecting the supporting structures of the teeth.

Dislocation of a tooth, visible as a widened periapical ligament space on an occlusal projection.

A fluid-filled sac that appears radiolucent on an X-ray.

A type of benign tumor that affects the jaw, often appearing as a multilocular cyst-like lesion on an X-ray.

A condition that affects the TMJ, causing narrowing of the joint space, irregularities, subchondral sclerosis, cysts, and osteophytes.

A contrast agent used to enhance images of the gastrointestinal tract on plain X-rays.

A radiographic sign that points to a destructive bone tumor.

Pain in the lower limbs that occurs during exercise and improves with rest, often a sign of peripheral artery disease.

An MRI exam that uses gadolinium contrast agents to highlight specific tissues or organs.
