چکیده
Recently I happened to overhear a patient seeking a second opinion from a dentist. His first dentist had asked for a CT scan for his son’s TMJ problem. He questioned whether CT scan was important for the treatment and also wanted to know the difference between a CT scan and CAT scan. As health providers if we do not know about these investigations, sometimes it may cause great embarassment. This issue covers CAT scan and MRI, with information on situations where a dentist will need to ask for these investigations.
