CBCT Referral

Referrer Details

Patient Details

Scan CBCT details / Region of interest

All scans will be parallel to the occlusal plane unless otherwise requested.

Clinical justification

In accordance with IR(ME)R 2000 a clinical justification must be provided for each dental CBCT scan and the scan must be clinically evaluated by someone trained in the analysis of dental CBCT scans.

Reporting

The requested CBCT scan is to be reported by referring clinician. Would you prefer the scan to be reported by a Consultant maxillofacial radiologist? (Additional fee of £85)*

Payment

This will act as the practitioner’s electronic signature: I hereby authorise Sharrow Vale Dental Care to carry out a CBCT on my behalf. The CBCT will be returned via email or on disc. I am responsible for assessing the data and referring to the necessary specialties as clinically indicated. Sharrow Vale Dental Care and the Operator will not be responsible for assessing the CBCT for the suitability of treatment or for ultimately identifying and referring pathology; by referring the patient I am accepting this responsibility and by signing below I have, as a minimum, secured level 1 CBCT training and this training is in date. The HPA CRCE-010 guidelines suggest that attendance of Radiology Training Courses is deemed a regulatory requirement for all users of radiographs, including those who are simply referring patients for acquisition of a CBCT. I accept that it is my responsibility to obtain the necessary qualification in order to refer and evaluate the data requested by me and provided by Sharrow Vale Dental Care. Alternatively, I will arrange for a Consultant Radiologist to rule out coincidental pathology unless requested previously on this form.
