CBCT Protocols Demystified: Safer Imaging, Smarter Decisions (ACDE Webinar)
About This Event
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has transformed dental imaging by providing three-dimensional views that enhance diagnosis and treatment planning across a wide range of maxillofacial conditions. This lecture demystifies CBCT protocols and emphasizes task-specific acquisition strategies so clinicians can maximize diagnostic value while minimizing radiation exposure, embracing the ALADA principle. The course covers differences between CBCT and conventional two-dimensional imaging, appropriate scan protocols for clinical scenarios, implementation of ALADA to ensure patient safety without compromising diagnostic quality, and quality criteria for CBCT acquisition to optimize interpretation.
Learning Objectives
- Differentiate CBCT acquisition processes from conventional two-dimensional imaging techniques.
- Identify and apply CBCT scan protocols appropriate for various clinical scenarios in dentistry.
- Implement the ALADA principle to ensure patient safety without compromising diagnostic quality.
- Apply quality criteria in CBCT acquisition to optimize diagnostic interpretation.
