Klappentext

Provides a logical approach to using diagnostic imaging modalities to diagnose lesions affecting the face and jaws

Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology: A Diagnostic Approach, Second Edition is a fully updated and revised edition of this richly illustrated reference to the wide range of diagnostic imaging modalities available for investigating lesions affecting the face and jaws. Featuring detailed flowcharts to support the clinician in decision making, the book presents clear information on the use of these modalities, the demographic, clinical, and radiological presentations of these lesions, and their clinical consequences. This Second Edition adds two new chapters on lesions within the soft tissues adjacent to the jaws and vascular anomalies, and significantly expands many existing chapters, offering more coverage of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and interventional procedures.

Offering a complete resource for diagnosing face and jaw lesions, the book covers advanced modalities such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, functional and interventional imaging, and ultrasound, as well as conventional radiography, which still remains the primary imaging modality for the initial imaging of lesions of the jaws. It emphasizes how oral health contributes to the patient's overall well-being throughout, aiding clinicians in recognizing pathology or sites of concern.

• Provides extensive flowcharts detailing the steps of diagnosis and decisions
• Features more than 450 clinical images, including many multi-part figures, demonstrating the concepts discussed, with more images covering CBCT, positron emission tomography, and interventional procedures
• Discusses differences in the demographic, clinical and radiological presentations, and outcomes of treatment due to ethnicity
• Presents practical approaches firmly grounded in the scientific literature, focusing on the most common and important lesions
• Includes perspectives from experts in various specialty areas, including medical radiologists, oral and maxillofacial radiologists, functional imaging specialists, and radiation oncologists
  Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Second Edition is an essential clinical tool for dental students, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, head and neck surgeons, oral and maxillofacial radiologists, and residents in these fields, as well as for general and specialist dentists and radiologists.
