The Foundation Course on CBCT

Course Overview

The Foundation Course on CBCT
Understand the images, recognise the limitations, and communicate more clearly with your radiologist.

This on-demand course with Dr Ajay Nayak provides a structured introduction to cone beam computed tomography for dental students, recent graduates and clinicians seeking a clearer understanding of CBCT.

Beginning with how conventional dental radiographs are formed and why they have limitations, the course introduces sectional imaging and the basic principles of CT and CBCT. It explains commonly encountered terms, image displays and anatomical planes, helping learners understand the information presented in a CBCT examination.

The session also discusses radiation considerations, clinical justification, field of view and the importance of communicating the clinical question to the radiologist. Selected clinical examples illustrate how three-dimensional imaging can clarify anatomical relationships.

The emphasis is on understanding imaging principles, recognising limitations and building a foundation for appropriate referral and further learning. Formal CBCT interpretation and detailed specialty-specific treatment planning are beyond the scope of this introductory course.

This course forms the first step in our CBCT learning pathway, with advanced online courses and later in-person training planned.
