A Hands-On Introduction To CBCT Interpretation
October 5, 2024
9am to 4pm
course description
Whether you’re brand new to the world of CBCT imaging or have been using the technology for years, a solid understanding of CBCT interpretation is crucial for patient evaluation and proper treatment planning. This lecture will introduce the concepts of image manipulation, interpretation strategies, and radiographic principles to help clinicians better utilize the 3D imaging available to them. Through the discussion, clinicians will develop a systematic method to review image volumes that will improve productivity and minimize interpretation time without sacrificing diagnostic accuracy.
As part of the course, attendees will be invited to participate in a hands-on review of CBCT scans to implement their newly acquired skills. Fundamentals of image manipulation, nerve tracing, implant planning, identification of pathology, airway analysis, and other topics will be covered during the hands-on portion of the course.
