Interpreting image positioning faults in Panoramic Radiography; improve your imaging… Mr Josh Galpin

Description

Patient positioning is one of the most important steps in the production of a good panoramic radiograph. Minor errors can result in partially uninterpretable radiographs that often impact on the area of interest. This session identifies a range of errors and required corrections to avoid the need for re-takes and to enhance your imaging techniques.

Learning Outcomes:
In this session we’ll:

Identify and interpret commonly seen positioning faults in panoramic radiography.
Discuss how positioning faults and errors occur.
Determine what we can modify in panoramic imaging to attain an ideal image.
