About this ebook

Nueva edición de esta obra de referencia en el campo de la radiología dental con un alto grado de estructuración y de fácil comprensión que aborda los fundamentos de la radiología, así como las técnicas radiográficas y los aspectos clínicos más relevantes en cada especialidad odontológica. Desde su aparición, se ha convertido en el texto líder en el conjunto de obras que cubren esta disciplina, sin querer nunca tomar el papel de un tratado, sino de un libro de consulta y estudio.

Uno de los cambios más importantes de esta nueva edición es la introducción de un nuevo autor, el Dr. Nicholas Drage, FDS, RCS, DDR, RCR, Consultant Dental and Maxillofacial Radiologist de la University Dental Hospital Cardiff.

En la nueva edición, aparte de revisar y actualizar todos los capítulos, se ha reforzado y ampliado la sección correspondiente a la TC de haz cónico que se ha convertido en la modalidad de imagen de primera elección en algunas situaciones clínicas. Igualmente, a lo largo de toda la obra se ha incrementado el número de ejemplos de pruebas de imagen avanzadas.

La nueva edición sigue presentándose como un libro claro, lógico de fácil comprensión y con un destacado valor didáctico.
