Contains papers from the June 1997 congress, in sections on perspectives in dentomaxillofacial radiology and computed maxillofacial imaging, strategies in diagnostic imaging, technological assessments, and radiation biology, risk, and safety. Specific topics include imaging of odontogenic lesions, jawbone pathoses and periodontal disease, maxillofacial surgery assessment strategies, intraoral and panoramic dental radiology, diagnostic imaging of soft tissues, and image communication and teledentistry. Includes a glossary of acronyms. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
