The Radiation Licence course is focused on safe and appropriate use of your CBCT machine. It covers radiation physics, biological effects of radiation, dosimetry, how a CBCT machine works, artifacts, a brief overview of anatomy. It also covers factors in deciding the appropriate use of CBCT across a range of clinical scenarios. Many dentists who do not own a CBCT machine have done this course and they report that they benefited greatly from this clear and precise series of lectures. The Masterclass series is an intensive clinically and diagnostically focused course, covering how to systemically interrogate OPG and CBCT scans to maximise diagnostic yield. It presents a stepwise approach to utilising a radiological diagnostic sieve to distinguish benign from more sinister pathoses. It then ties together all the information to structure radiology reports. Many clinical cases are used to illustrate the lesions covered.
Yes - the Masterclass series is suitable for dental practitioners who have been educated in diagnosis. It will enhance your diagnostic skills. However, the course is not specifically designed to increase scope of practice. The Masterclass series is not suitable for Dental Assistants (Cert IV radiology).
Firstly, whether a DA can operate a CBCT machine or OPG/Lat ceph machine varies greatly in each State/Territory so please check this with your local Radiation Licencing body. In those States (Vic and NSW) where Dental Assistants can operate OPG/lat ceph and CBCT machines, they must have completed the Cert IV training in Dental Radiology.
The online Radiation Licencing course materials are accessible for 100 days. Access to the Masterclass series of lectures is set at 150 days. Access can be extended at no additional cost by request.
The course fees have already been reduced by one third, in light of COVID 19. If you need to do both the Extraoral Radiation Licence course and the CBCT Radiation Licence course, please contact me (use CONTACT US link below) and I can set up a discount for the combined package.
