Dental Imaging Specialists
At Envision Medical Imaging, we specialise in dental, oral and maxillofacial radiology. We're committed to providing high-quality images using the latest technology and minimal radiation.
Envision Medical Imaging is also the only practice in Western Australia with three full-time Oral and Maxillofacial radiologists on-site.
Meet our Oral and Maxillofacial specialists here. Our team is highly respected and internationally recognised, and we encourage you to view their biographies.
Panoramic radiographs, more commonly known as OPGs (orthopantomograms), are a special panoramic picture of your jaws. OPGs can be used for a variety of purposes from impacted wisdom teeth, checking development of teeth in children and as general screening as part of your dental check-up. The Lateral Ceph and/or PA Cephs (or cepahlometry examination) are used for checking your facial bones and occlusion, often used in orthodontics.
While many radiology practices are digital, all Envision OPG and Ceph machines use only direct capture sensor technology which are capable of producing some of the lowest radiation doses possible. See more about OPG and Lat Ceph here.
Cone Beam CT is a scan which allows 3D visualisation of the teeth, jaws and face. It is one of the more recent developments in dental imaging. It provides clinicians with much more information about these structures to help with optimal diagnosis and treatment or surgical planning.
Envision has two of the leading Cone Beam CT scanners, the iCAT and Sirona Gallileos, at our Wembley and Booragoon rooms. We also have the only i-Cat Cone Beam scanner south of the river at our Booragoon practice. Both these machines are capable of ultra-low dose imaging, comparable to doses delivered in many common dental X-rays. See more about Cone Beam here.
Multi-slice Computed Tomography (CT) is used to scan the face, jaws and teeth to produce 3D images. Envision is the only private practice with the new state of the art Siemens CT Force machine. This, together with individual protocols personally prescribed by our on-site Maxillofacial Radiologists, result in high quality images at truly low radiation dose levels.
All scans are reviewed by our Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologists and we are the only practice in WA with several full time AHPRA registered Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologists on-site, who are always available to your doctor to discuss your individual case.

For referrers:
Envision is the only private practice in WA with the new state of the art Siemens CT Somatom Force. Force mode scanning completes a study in less than a second, at even lower dose, providing better image quality. In addition, the protocols are personally prescribed by our radiologists to ensure extremely low levels of radiation, while maintaining optimal image quality. What remains the same is the high quality interpretation by specialists who are experts in their field.
We choose Siemens CT scanners because they include control mechanisms that automatically adjust the radiation dose level to the patient’s anatomy, keeping dose to a minimum. It is similar to a highly sophisticated camera’s automatic exposure mode and delivers optimum low dose with high quality images.
An MRI TM Joints scan uses an MRI Scanner to produce detailed images of the Temporomandibular Joint (the jaw joint) which is located just in front of the ear, to help diagnose and assess TM Joint disorders.
Premium patient care
At Envision Medical Imaging we are committed to providing premium care for our patients. We recognise that some appointments can be stressful. All our radiologists, administrative and nursing staff, medical imaging technicians and assistants are dedicated to making all patient experiences as comfortable and efficient as possible.
We are also dedicated to providing ultra low radiation dose levels for every patient, every time. This is reflected in the technology that we use, the individual protocols prescribed by our radiologists and the knowledge and skills of the technicians carrying out the scans.
