This is a new edition of a classic text that presents all of the information that a dental student needs to know in order to safely capture high-quality clinical images and accurately interpret their findings. Written in an accessible manner which avoids unnecessary detail, each page spread has been carefully designed to ensure clarity of understanding by the reader to ensure both exam success and confidence and safety in the clinical situation. Topics address the whole curriculum and range from the physics of imaging to radiation protection and image interpretation. Normal and abnormal findings are discussed and are accompanied by a range of self-assessment exercises which are found in the book and online. Suitable for undergraduate students and post-graduates alike, this book has become essential reading for all readers who intend to practice clinical dentistry.
• Provides a comprehensive account of the radiology and radiography topics examined at undergraduate level • Clear and accessible approach to the subject makes learning especially easy • More than 1100 illustrations – many of them brand new to this edition – present clinical, diagnostic and practical information in an accessible manner • Written by world authorities on the subject area • Now presented in full colour to aid navigation and visual understanding of the subject area • Contains new sections on normal anatomy to enable students to identify early stages of disease process • New end-of chapter self-assessment helps readers track their progress • Helpful online clinical cases enable students to prepare for exams
• An enhanced eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customise your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
