This text fills a vacuum in the diagnostic radiology for dentistry. The strength of the book lies in vast amount of high quality images. Most of the cases start with a panoramic radiograph or a periapical film, and then proceed to CT or MRI imaging. Exactly the way an Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist will approach a case. This is a must text for maxillofacial radiology residents. For general dentists, who have started a Conebeam CT practice, this book will help you in your practice. The book is expensive, but it is worth every penny.

This is an excellent book for any dentist that utilizes CBCT imaging and MRI (being stronger on CBCT Imaging and good enough on MRI).
The book starts with a very complete list of pertinent anatomical structures that can be correlated to very clear images. This list is all you need to learn and check any anatomical structure contained in a volumetric image. In fact, the first chapter of the book itself will pay and cover for the money invested in the book.
It is very strong in pathology and TMJ imaging and TMJ pathology.
It has a chapter on Implant dentistry imaging.
I wish it was stronger in CBCT imaging fundamentals.

I found the online review pages available at amazon.com useful in deciding to purchase this book. When the book arrived, I found it very colorful and easy to read. I particularly appreciate the layout of the content which is quite composite. It does not just dwell on radiology of diseases, but it includes a good measure of pathology and surgical management of the disease entities discussed. I found the book to have a good clinical application and it is quite easy to relate to by, not only radiologists, but pathologists and surgeons.

I also showed the book to my program director in oral and maxillofacial radiology residency program. He also thought the quality of the color materials were excellent. I guess that explains why it costs a couple of hundreds to have the book.

This is a book I'll recommend to anyone involved in the diagnosis and management of head and neck cum oral and maxillofacial lesions.
