What is Cephalogram?
Cephalogram is an X-Ray imaging procedure that creates an image of the head and face to assess the relative position of the various facial tissues with each other. It is used to visually assess the craniofacial bones and soft tissues and diagnose any associated disorders.
Preparation for Cephalogram
- Pregnant women should inform their doctor (and x-ray technician) as the radiations may affect the fetus. If needed, precautions can be taken to lower the radiation exposure to the fetus.
- Depending on the area to be imaged, you may be asked to wear a hospital gown at the time of the X-ray.
