Oral and maxillofacial radiologists frequently identify a range of pathologies and anatomical variations in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) volumes. Here’s an overview of common findings, including specific cysts and tumors:

Interpretation Challenges in CBCT:

Radiologists must consider:

• Artifacts: Beam hardening and scatter can obscure findings.
• Anatomical Variants: Enlarged marrow spaces, sinus pneumatization, and vascular channels.
• Differential Diagnosis: Similar features in cysts and tumors require correlating clinical findings and additional imaging.

Accurate reporting involves correlating findings with clinical history, presenting symptoms, and any adjunctive imaging or biopsy results.
