The Society's second CPD (Continuing Professional Development) lecture was held on the 20th September, 2012 at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Amphitheatre C.

The lecture came off at Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (Amphitheatre C), Mt. Hope, Trinidad. We were again fortunate to have a dynamic speaker deliver an energetic and interactive lecture entitled, “Dental Panoramic Radiology”.

The featured speaker was Dr. Kevin Moze, a lecturer in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the School of Dentistry, University of the West Indies, Trinidad. The audience doubled that of the first CPD in May. Key points included the need to maintain ALARA principles, accurate positioning techniques and the importance of reassessing which imaging examination would best demonstrate the region of interest in Dental Imaging.

Dr. Moze has expressed interest in collaborating with the Society of Radiographers to host a Dental Imaging Workshop in 2013, to facilitate hands on training to local practitioners and to enhance their technical skills. From all accounts, this appears to be a much needed workshop aimed at curtailing the radiation dose patients receive during dental exams.
