Variants of normal radiologic anatomy that may simulate disease on panoramic images Part 1

Part 1

Recognizing the range of normal anatomical appearances on a well-made image is the most elementary step in image interpretation. At times, however, normal appearances can be altered as a result of patient anatomy, imaging system-related idiosyncrasies, or errors in patient positioning or image acquisition. Part 1 lecture will focus on panoramic image ordering practices, image acquisition and patient positioning, including positioning errors.

Participants will learn:

  • evidence-based guidelines for ordering panoramic images
  • how patient- and panoramic system-related factors can alter the appearances of normal anatomy.
