Cone Beam (CT) Radiography - School of Dental Medicine
Sponsored by: JULY 24-25, 2015 Friday-Saturday (8 am-5 pm) (Registration/Continental breakfast 7:30-8 am) Tuition: $995.00 CE Credits: 16 (2 days) SYNOPSIS: With the introduction of cone beam CT (CBCT) in dentistry comes the responsibility for adequate training and education on its utilization to both maximize its diagnostic and therapeutic potential while considering the risk/benefit of ionizing radiation to patients. A laptop with a minimum of 4GB of RAM and a 256 MB discrete video card is required to operate the 3-D viewing software.* This course is for dentists who are using or plan to use cone-beam CT imaging. It will provide fundamentals of diagnostic imaging as well as clinical guidelines. A workshop component allows dentists to obtain Register early, seating is limited!! “hands on” training with visualization software and become competent in common applications such as measurement of bone height and width for implant planning, examination of the temporomandibular joints and visualization of impacted teeth. The course culminates with a multiple choice examination. Participants will receive a certificate indicating they have successfully completed the cone beam interpretation educational process. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Understand the basic fundamentals of cone-beam CT technology, principles of operation, need for multidimensional imaging and comparisons to conventional imaging devices. 2. Understand the effect of ionizing radiation on biologic matter, radiation dosimetry, radiation hygiene and strategies to reduce effective absorbed dose to the patient. 3. Become familiar with radiographic craniofacial anatomy and variations. 4. Understand clinical indications for CBCT and be able to prescribe appropriate operational parameters for imaging. 5. Be able to utilize computer software to visualize CBCT images and select appropriate methods of visualization. 6. Be able to provide a basic interpretation and report of CBCT images. James Mah, DDS, MSc, DMSc Dr. James Mah is a Clinical Professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He is a pioneer in 3-D imaging technologies and is active with CBCT development, clinical utilization and research. His research is focused on virtual 3-D craniofacial patients for diagnosis and treatment planning as well as forensic anthropology. He serves as a reviewer for several journals and has served on committees developing clinical guidelines on utilization of CBCT. Robert Danforth, DDS Dr. Robert A. Danforth is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and is a Clinical Professor in Residence at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine. He has taught oral and maxillofacial radiology since 1979 and has been in the dental x-ray laboratory business since 1982. He is one of the early users of CBCT imaging beginning in 2002 and has been providing interpretative CBCT reports since that time. * Please contact Anatomage (http://www.anatomage.com/) at (408) 885-1474 if you have computer related questions.
