Variants of normal radiologic anatomy that may simulate disease on panoramic images Part 2

Part 2

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 2 lecture will focus on the presentation of a systematic method of investigating panoramic images and variations in the presentation of normal anatomy.

Participants will learn:

  • to develop a systematic approach to panoramic image investigation.
  • the range of appearances of normal anatomy on panoramic images.
  • to identify key areas on the panoramic image where normal anatomy can be misdiagnosed as disease.
