Ultimate information on development from invention of X-Rays to CBCT (Cone Beam Computerized Tomograph Images)
Photos and CBCT images with clear anatomic labels represent basic learning and revision material First atlas with photographs of human tissue combined with CBCT images
'Cone Beam CT of the Head and Neck' presents normal anatomy of the head using photographs of cadavers and CBCT images in sagittal, axial and coronal planes with the anatomic structures and landmarks clearly labelled. Important structures and regions are presented in detailed view. The photographs of human tissue (based on slicing of cadaveric heads) combined with CBCT images have not been used previously for an atlas of anatomy. Scanned objects with the possibility of 3D reconstruction present better understanding of the anatomy.
