Hands-On Advanced Interrogation of Cone Beam CT Scans

COURSE OVERVIEW

This course will equip participants with practical expertise and advanced interrogation skills required to accurately analyse cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Through focused hands-on training and case-based learning, the course will enable participants to confidently manipulate software to create the correct multiplanar reconstructions to appropriately evaluate the structures of interest for many clinical situations. 

• Indications for prescribing CBCT vs. Other modalities
• What radiation doses are our patients receiving
• How to correctly view the data set with MPR
• The difference between image interrogation and interpretation
• Introduction to AI in dental radiology
• Afternoon Hands-On CBCT Interrogation workshop

learning objectives

• Identify the presence of periapical lesions
• Determine the morphology and lengths of roots and the canals
• Correctly identify number of roots of an impacted tooth and its morphology
• Optimal interrogation of implant sites and identification of important adjacent anatomy
• Identify the periodontal bone levels and if there are bony furcation and perio/endo involvements

Clin Prof Bernard Koong

Bernard is a founding partner of Envision Medical Imaging in Western Australia, a fully comprehensive radiology practice.  

He has a long history of teaching oral and maxillofacial radiology at several universities, including The University of Western Australia, The university of Sydney, The University of Hong Kong and Griffith University. He also contributed to training the Western Australian radiology registrars of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists. 

As an invited speaker, Bernard has presented more than 150 lectures to the dental and medical professions across inernationally. He was Vice Chairman and member of the Scientific Committee of the 33rd ADA Congress. 

Bernard is author of the Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology (Wiley-Blackwell 2017). He is also author of the radiology chapter of the 6th edition of Lindhe and Lang’s Clinical Periodontology and Implant Dentistry (Wiley-Blackwell, 2015). He is a contributing author for Zygomatic Implants (Springer 2020) and the Glossary of Preventive Dentistry and Periodontology (Quintessence Publishing 2015). Bernard has also authored several other publications, including articles for various professional Australian and international organisations, which included the radiology guide for the Australian Dental Association (2019). Bernard was the inaugural President of the Australian Academy of Dento-maxillofacial Radiology (2019).  

Bernard completed his specialist training with the world-renowned Professor Michael Pharoah at the University of Toronto, where he was the first oral and maxillofacial radiology registrar to win the prestigious Harron Award and Scholarship. It included training at Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto General Hospital and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto.
