Radiographic Interpretation
Instructor: Dr. David Hatcher
Dentistry and orthodontics has always relied on imaging and the associated technology to assist with diagnosis, communication, treatment planning, treatment simulation, treatment and evaluation of treatment outcomes. The recent introduction of the Cone Beam Volume Scanner (3-D digital imaging technology) into dentistry has opened the door for advancements that will benefit orthodontic researcher, orthodontic practitioner and their patients but all of the generated image volumes need to be evaluated.
Volume Scanning presents the burden of additional anatomy that needs to be evaluated. This course presents a problem solving method for evaluating CT Volumes. This course has been designed as a "hands-on" mini-radiology residency.
Emphasis on:
- Identifying and naming normal anatomy
- Identify abnormal anatomy
- Developing imaging and case work-up strategies
- Describe relevant features of abnormal anatomy
- Develop differential diagnoses and diagnostic decision trees
