Maximizing Diagnostic Efficiency with Cone Beam (Dec 06 - 07, 2025)

Maximizing Diagnostic Efficiency with Cone Beam is organized by CDOCS and will be held from Dec 06 - 07, 2025 at Dentsply Sirona Academy, Charlotte, North Carolina, United States of America.

Description:
This course is hands on and case based and designed to prepare each participant to systematically review a CBCT volume, recognize and categorize signs of abnormalities and how to manage the resultant findings. Learning will be facilitated using CBCT cases from the board certified oral maxillofacial radiologists teaching the course. Each participant will gain a deeper understanding of the tremendous diagnostic potential of CBCT imaging as well as increased confidence in reviewing scans for abnormalities. In addition, you will learn how to interact with maxillofacial radiologists as the go to expert consultants where abnormalities are recognized but not completely understood.
Each participant will have a dedicated computer to allow for ample hands-on training and will spend ample time reviewing and learning various oral pathologies that can be found on a cone beam scan.

Participants Will Learn:

• How to systematically scroll through a volume and recognize normal anatomy and the radiographic signs of abnormalities in CBCT volumes though a rigorous hands-on experience
• Understand the legal responsibilities of being a CBCT owner
• Appreciate the various disease categories for maximum benefit in patient communication and filing insurance
• Learn how to recognize common and incidental findings in CBCT volumes and what to do about them
• Learn how to export a DICOM file to a maxillofacial reading site for a radiology report
