Computed Tomography (CT) Radiographic imaging technique that images a solid slice of tissue while blurring out other structures.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography(CBCT)& Cone Beam Volumetric Imaging (CBVI) CT scanning that is designed specifically for maxillofacial use.

Paralleling Technique Intraoral technique that places the image receptor positioned parallel to the long axes of the teeth while the central beam of radiation is directed perpendicularly toward both the teeth and the image receptor.
Position Indicating Device (PID) Also called Beam Indicating Device (BID). An open ended, cylindrical or rectangular device attached to the tube head at the aperture to direct the useful beam of radiation.
Radiograph An image produced on photo sensitive film by exposure to rays.
Radiography The making of radiographs by exposing and processing x-ray film.
Roentgen Ray The first name given to the x-ray. Named after Wilhem C. Roentgen.
Roentgenograph The first name given to radiographs. Named after Wilhelm C. Roentgen.
Tomography A radiographic technique used to show detailed images of structures located within a predetermined plane of tissues while eliminating or blurring those structures in the planes not selected.
X-Ray Radiant energy of short wavelength that has the power to penetrate substances and to record shadow images on photographic film phosphates and digital sensors.
X-Ray Film Intraoral film packaged in a moisture proof outer plastic or paper wrap.
