Overview
This one-day Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) 2B course offers an interactive, participant-centred approach to learning and will enable you to maintain the safe operation and interpretation of CBCTs.
You're invited to sign up for this course after attending the original Dental Cone Beam CT 2A course. This will help you to consolidate your learning and address any issues which may have arisen when putting your 2A experience into practice.
Take a look at our programme to see what's happening on the day.
Learning outcomes
The Dental Cone Beam CT 2B course will include a focused session on bone disease and their presentation on dental imaging, radiological interpretation exercises and extensive peer learning, discussion and reflection on CBCT reporting skills.
- Cover the core fundamentals of 3D CBCT imaging
- Build on reporting skills developed in the 2A CBCT course
- Create space for discussion and troubleshooting of reporting challenges

Here's what our previous participants said
"Neil's expertise driving the scans with commentary and the opportunity to ask anything at anytime."
"Engaging session with an open atmosphere created by Neil. The small-group discussions helped us work through scans together and build confidence. The focus on bone disease, along with the quiz and case discussions, added depth and improved my confidence in reading CBCTs."
"Neil is very approachable and so easy to discuss cases with (even ones you're embarrassed about!)."
