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.
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 cone beam computed tomography, 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
