When we order a cat scan for dental purposes, its usually for some suspicion of bone pathology or an implant ; since the patient has to go to a hospital or clinic we bill under the medical codes for payment....If you are doing a Icat radiograhph or cone beam type xray, then i would contact my manufacturer of my xray machine to get the code to bill under. Remember most insurance plans have a limited dental coverage per year , for example 1500 dollars and some cone beam or CAT scans cost up to 1000 dollars and that would apply to your maximum allowable paid out per year. Also if the cat scan is taken by a facility then it should be read by a radiologist who also submits a bill for his services. If you dont have a radiologist read the xray and the dentist misses some pathology, for example a cyst or cancer, then the Dentist is legally liable in court......

Most x ray tech programs last two years. High school graduation (or GED) is required. An Xray tech takes xray pictures of patients. You can specialize in different types of scans, such as CAT, etc. In addition to learning how to operate the xray machinery, you will also need to know about human anatomy and some medical basics.
