CBCT 101: A DETAILED GUIDE FOR EVALUATING NORMAL ANATOMY, COMMON PATHOLOGIES AND INCIDENTAL FINDINGS

This course will provide an overview of the typical anatomical structures visualized in a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan and will cover variations of normal anatomy and the pathological processes that appear in a 3D scan.

Radiographic presentation of significant pathologies, including malignancies with clinical cases, will be discussed, as well as soft tissue calcifications that may be seen in a CBCT scan and strategies to diagnose them radiographically.

 

Learning outcomes:

  1. Develop an analytical strategy to evaluate 2D and CBCT anatomical structures, their normal variations and pathologic processes radiographically.
  2. Recognize the subtle radiographic appearance of malignant pathologies in a CBCT scans.
  3. Distinguish between different soft tissue calcifications depicted in a CBCT scan.
