Synopsis

Imaging is a key part of clinical practice. To maximise the potential benefit to their patients, dentists need to have an understanding of how imaging systems work. In the 21st century, we are faced with major technological developments in radiology, of which many dentists will be unfamiliar. This book aims to address these challenges by providing a comprehensive introduction to state-of-the-art dental imaging, in particular to the complexities of digital radiology and the advanced techniques available for cross-sectional imaging.

About this title

Review:

21st Century Imaging is an essential text that the new GDP [general dental practitioner] is advised to acquire and read through a couple of times before making any decisions about equipping a surgery for imaging in primary dental care. The same recommendation applies to the established practitioner thinking of re-equipping, and to both old and new practitioners seeking to set up referral pathways. --Malcolm G.H. Bishop, MSc, BDS, LDS., - Primary Dental Care, October 2009
