Clinical and radiological diagnostics are a form of dentistry that focusses on the performance and interpretation of diagnostic imaging used for the examination of the craniofacial, dental and adjacent structures.
Clinical and radiological diagnostics include cone beam CT, multi-slice CT, MRI, PET, ultrasound scans, dental panoramic radiology, cephalometric imaging, intra-oral imaging, and – in special cases – sialography. This may help with the diagnosis, treatment planning and evaluation of certain conditions.
