Cone Beam CT Interpretation and Radiological Safety - Part II

When:  Jan 15, 2021 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM (ET)

This course is designed to provide an understanding of the principles and practice of radiological interpretation of cone beam CT scans and how to derive meaningful information from the images.

Objectives:

  • To understand the keys to successful interpretation of CBCT volumes
  • To be able to recognize abnormalities in CBCT volumes
  • To understand the significance of radiographic “signs” or features of lesions
  • To know how to use radiographic features in determining disease categories for the lesions
  • To know how to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions
  • To be familiar with incidental findings often seen in CBCT volumes
