New cards

1. describe the finding

2. assess the meaning of findings (normal vs anomaly)

3. request further imaging if necessary

4. process information into meaningful interpretation (report/notes)

4 steps for dental interpretation

2
New cards

the determination of which of two or more diseases with similar symptoms the patient has

differential diagnosis
