DIASCI 5373 - RADIOLOGY, IMAGING AND INTERPRETATION 2

Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 1
In this course, students will build on the concepts addressed in the anatomy, dental anatomy, oral surgery, oral pathology, and radiology courses taken previously. This course follows DIASCI 5241, (Radiology, Imaging and Interpretation 1), a basic interpretation course which focused on selection criteria to appropriately prescribe radiographs and the identification of the most clinically relevant radiographic pathology (including caries, periodontal conditions, cysts, tumors, systemic conditions, and fibro-osseous conditions). This course is designed to familiarize students with technological advancements in the field of radiology. Application of those advancements to the appropriate prescription of radiographs in a clinical setting will be addressed. Small group interpretation exercises will be implemented throughout the course to aid student learning. The pathology component of the cases will help students develop an understanding of the disease process and correlate disease with radiographic findings. Students will develop an understanding of the various disease processes of the head and neck and will develop skills to prescribe the appropriate imaging technique for further analysis of the disease process. This course will also serve as a review of radiographic features of intraoral pathology, basic imaging principles, and their applications for the National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) Part II. The course includes lecture, class discussions, and small group interpretation exercises.
