The Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology presents an extensive case collection of both common and less common conditions of the jaws and teeth. Focusing on the essentials of radiologic interpretation, this is a go-to companion for clinicians in everyday practice who have radiologically identified a potential abnormality, as well as a comprehensive study guide for students at all levels of dentistry, surgery and radiology.
Key Features
- Unique lesion-based problem solving chapter makes this an easy-to-use reference in a clinical setting
- Includes 2D intraoral radiography, the panoramic radiograph, cone beam CT, multidetector CT and MRI
- Multiple cases are presented in order to demonstrate the variation in the radiological appearances of conditions affecting the jaws and teeth
- Special focus on conditions where diagnostic imaging may substantially contribute to diagnosis
The text includes a comprehensive chapter dedicated to the temporomandibular joint. Since imaging in dentistry, especially cone beam CT, often demonstrates the sinonasal structures, upper aerodigestive tract morphology, skull base and cervical spine, chapters dedicated to these regions are also included. Covering panoramic radiograph and orofacial cone beam CT radiologic anatomy in detail, the Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology is a must-have companion for all practitioners and students alike.

Bernard Koong is a highly experienced oral and maxillofacial radiologist practicing full time multimodality clinical radiology. He is a founding partner of Envision Medical Imaging, a multidisciplinary fully comprehensive private radiology group in Australia and also consults internationally. He has personally reported over 200,000 radiological studies involving a wide variety of imaging techniques.
Having completed his specialist training in oral and maxillofacial radiology at the University of Toronto, Bernard now holds the position of Clinical Professor at the University of Western Australia, where he coordinates and delivers the oral and maxillofacial radiology lectures for the undergraduate and postgraduate courses. He also has a long history of providing oral and maxillofacial radiology courses for other universities as well as surgery and radiology programmes across Australasia. As an invited speaker, Bernard has presented more than 100 lectures to the dental and medical professions internationally, and is a member of the Editorial Board of Clinical Oral Implant Research.
