Session 2

RABBIT

DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING

This session of the course is dedicated entirely to diagnostic imaging modalities for rabbit dentistry.

Standard imaging (radiography, oral endoscopy), and advanced imaging (computed tomography, magnetic resonance) will be extensively discussed in regard of both normal aspects and pathologic findings.

This extensive lecture is entirely focused on radiography for diagnosis of rabbit dental disease.

It includes:

- the radiographic equipment;

- the patient positioning;

- the extraoral projections including additional projection and the normal radiographic anatomy;

- the use of diagnostic lines;

- the intraoral views;

- an overview of radiographic abnormalities.

This lecture focuses on the examination of the oral cavity under anesthesia, with the aid of rigid endoscopy (stomatoscopy).

Subtopics will be discussed as follows:

- instruments for examination of the oral cavity, including the specific table top mouth gag/restrainer;

- equipment for rigid endoscopy;

- stomatoscopy of the normal patient;

- an overview of dental and oral abnormalities diagnosed via stomatoscopy.

This lecture is entirely focused on CT as advanced imaging modality for diagnosis of dental disease in rabbits.

It includes:

- the basic principles of CT;

- different types of CT scan units;

- patient positioning;

- the scanning planes and the slice thickness;

- the DICOM viewers;

- an overview of dental, oral and facial abnormalities diagnosed via CT scan.
