Summary:

Interpretation Basics of Cone Beam Computed Tomography is an easy-to-use guide to Cone Beam CT technology for general dental practitioners and dental students. It covers normal anatomy, common anatomical variants, and incidental findings that practitioners must be familiar with when interpreting CBCT scans. In addition to functioning as an identification guide, the book presents and discusses sample reports illustrating how to use this information in day-to-day clinical practice. Organized by anatomical regions, the book is easy to navigate and features multiple images of examples discussed. A valuable section on legal issues surrounding this new technology provides guidance essential for informed and appropriate use. Thorough coverage of the basics of CBCT imaging for dental applications, Ideal for general practitioners and dental students, Numerous normal anatomical figures with images of incidental findings to sharpen identification skills, Organized anatomically for quickly reference, Includes access to a companion website hosting additional photos and case examples Book jacket.
