Summary:
"The skills you need to interpret radiographs and make accurate clinical diagnoses! Written specifically for dentists, White and Pharoah's Oral Radiology : Principles and Interpretation, 8th Edition, incorporates over 1,500 high-quality radiographs and illustrations, visually demonstrating the basic principles of oral and maxillofacial radiology along with their clinical application. You will learn to use today's imaging technology to recognize pathologic conditions and interpret radiographs accurately. Dental students will gain a solid foundation in radiation physics, radiation biology, and radiation safety and protection including specialized techniques such as MRI and CT. New features include a new chapter Beyond Three-dimensional Imaging which introduces applications of 3D imaging such as stereolithic models. New chapter Radiographic Anatomy includes all radiologic anatomy content, allowing students to better visualize and understand normal appearances of structures on conventional and contemporary imaging side-by-side. Includes comprehensive coverage of diseases affecting the teeth and jaws, relating their pathogenesis to their key imaging features and image interpretation. Includes extensive coverage of all aspects of oral radiology for the entire predoctoral curriculum."--publisher.
