Radiology Reports and Radiographic Patterns of Malignant Versus Benign Disease
Sunday, April 16
9 AM - Noon
3 CDE Credits – DDS, DH, DA
About the Course
This course will start with cone beam-computed tomography (CBCT) basics, including image formation, advantages and disadvantages of disease interpretation compared to conventional 2D imaging. Then, it will introduce the attendees to radiological terminology and interpretation, emphasizing the radiological patterns of malignant and benign disease in the maxillofacial territory. Real life case examples will be presented. Attendees will actively participate during the lecture via the online platform poll.
This session will enable participants to:
- Understand the image formation process during CBCT acquisition
- Recognize the most common CBCT artifacts and their limitations
- Brush up on what a radiology report is and its importance
- Understand radiological terminology used to describe disease and identify benign and malignant radiological patterns
- Understand the importance of systematic image analysis and clinical correlation
