The aim of a radiographic report is to provide an accurate interpretation of images to facilitate the diagnostic process, and when indicated prompt the appropriate management for the patient. It is part of the patient's clinical records. This paper describes the imaging chain involved in the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) workflow from referring to reporting on a CBCT scan. It provides guidelines on the essential information required before and immediately after a CBCT scan is taken, and optimizing the viewing conditions. Finally, it describes a framework for a systematic, comprehensive and tailored CBCT radiographic report. It is aimed at endodontists, clinicians and radiologists reporting on CBCT scans of the dentoalveolar region.
放射报告的目的是对图像进行准确解读，以促进诊断过程，并在需要时为患者提供适当的治疗。它是患者临床记录的一部分。本文描述了锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）工作流程中从参考到报告的成像链。它提供了在进行 CBCT 扫描之前和之后立即需要的基本信息的指南，并优化了观察条件。最后，它描述了一个系统的、全面的和定制的 CBCT 放射报告框架。它针对的是报告牙颌区域 CBCT 扫描的牙髓病学家、临床医生和放射科医生。
