Day One will consist of lectures reviewing the principles of CBCT technology and methods to achieve maximal diagnostic imaging. The timely discussions will cover radiographic anatomy, artifacts and signs of pathology, clinically-relevant CBCT technical factors, protocols, radiation dose as well an expansive number of case studies. Day Two’s hands-on session will focus on the use of CBCT software and guide you through proper CBCT interpretation, using multiple clinical cases.
