Dalla quarta di copertina

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.
