Panoramic Radiographs and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): Theory and Practice

Boston, MA •Friday, November 17, 2017, 9 a.m. - Saturday, November 18, 2017, 1 p.m.

Understanding how to accurately interpret panoramic radiographs and CBCT images has become a key aspect of dentistry. As such, it is imperative that dentists feel comfortable not only interpreting these images but translating them into treatment for their patients. Join Drs. Ramesh and Ganguly for this two-day, hands-on course designed to teach participants how to systematically interpret both panoramic radiographs and CBCT images! Participants may choose to attend either one or both days of the course.
Location/Venue
Tufts University School of Dental Medicine
One Kneeland Street
Boston, MA 02111
Program Agenda
Day One will focus on the systematic interpretation of Panoramic Radiographs. Using actual cases, participants will learn to interpret normal and abnormal findings in panoramic images, as well as to address technical errors that can occur and adversely affect the diagnostic quality of these images. 

Day Two
 will address the systematic navigation of CBCT data and its mechanics. In the hands-on portion of the course, participants will learn to use CBCT volume to reconstruct various 2D images, and the potential applications of these images.
