Конусно-променева КТ у стоматології: атлас для стоматологів і радіологів

Завдяки великій кількості діагностичних зображень цей посібник «Конусно-променева КТ у стоматології: атлас для стоматологів і радіологів» дає вичерпне уявлення про конусно-променеву комп’ютерну томографію, її використання для діагностики стоматологічних захворювань і планування лікування в стоматологічній практиці. Надається детальний опис анатомічних структур зуба та їхнього вигляду на комп’ютерній томограмі. Показані та описані найбільш поширені стоматологічні захворювання, а також ознаки злоякісних новоутворень. Книжка озброїть читача фундаментальними знаннями про рентгенологічну картину денто-альвеолярної анатомії та надасть рекомендації щодо інтерпретації артефактів, захворювань і деяких відомих анатомічних варіацій. Хоча ця книга призначена насамперед для стоматологів, вона буде корисною для багатьох інших медичних працівників, включаючи медичних радіологів.

Тим читачам, які придбали паперовий посібник, дається можливість завантажити відео через безкоштовний додаток SN More Media, який треба завантажити на свій мобільний пристрій.
