Carpal Index

Diamond Bar Imaging offers a Carpal index imaging to assist in orthodontics and implant treatments. 

Carpal bones in the wrist are viewed by a dentist to distinguish the degree of ossification in them.

The results are used to analyze the skeletal maturation of an individual. A hand/wrist view, determines the skeletal age and maturity of the individual, which is important to the timing of orthodontic and implant treatments. Having the carpal index information ensures these procedures are done accurately with the highest standards of technology.

For people who believe they may have carpal tunnel syndrome this imaging will provide accurate diagnosis. Carpal tunnel syndrome causes tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain in the fingers and hand. Some people experience pain in their arm between the hand and the elbow. Symptoms most often occur in the thumb, index finger, middle finger and half of the fourth finger. Having symptoms in all but the little finger is a sign of carpal tunnel syndrome.

When you come to Diamond Bar Imaging for carpal index imaging, it is important to wear loose fitting clothing with no metal, no jewelry, glasses or piercings. You will be sure to have the best imaging result when there is no possible interference.
