“This book is available in book format, the incorporation of the technology to show videos on demand is a good strategy from the publisher to help the reader reach custom-made videos prepared by an author who is highly experienced in this field. … the author is to be congratulated for this work and I strongly recommend this book for the new users of dental CBCT as a convenient reference guide.” (Fedil Andraws, British Dental Journal Vol. 236 (1), January, 2024)
