Dental Cone Beam CT (CBCT) 2B

Overview

Following on from our Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) 2A Certification course, this 1-day course offers an interactive, delegate centred approach to learning and will enable attendees to maintain the safe operation and interpretation of CBCTs.

Delegates are invited to sign up for this course just after attending the original CBCT 2A course to consolidate learning and address any issues which may have arisen when putting their 2A experience into practice. 

Delivered by Dr Neil Heath, a Consultant Radiologist and Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, the Dental Cone Beam 2B course will include a focused session on bone disease and their presentation on dental imaging, radiological interpretation exercises and extensive peer learning, discussion and reflection on CBCT reporting skills.

PLEASE NOTE:

1. Attendance at a previous Level 2A Certification course is required in order to complete 2B Certification.

1. The driver software used throughout this course is not compatible with Apple devices.  Please note that in order to successfully participate, you will require another device, i.e. laptop, PC.

Aims of the session

• To give the absolute fundamentals of 3D CBCT imaging

• To build on CBCT reporting skills gained since the 2A CBCT course

• Allow discussion and trouble shooting issues relating to reporting

• Enable bench marking between disciplines as to how their reporting practice is progressing

• Provide additional teaching on bone diseases as they appear on dental 2D and 3D imaging

• Provide insights into why reporting errors can happen

Intended learning outcomes

At the end of the session(s) delegates will be able to:

• Analyse their imaging data and write reports more effectively using appropriate language

• Recognise common and some less common diseases affecting dentoalveolar bone particularly malignancy.

• Where reporting errors can occur- related to systems and cognitive  bias

This course satisfies a formal CBCT level 2 course - 12 hours in total (5 hours of which are recognised as verifiable CPD as recommended by the GDC)
