SESSION 3 January 21st, 2009
Imaging and Pathology
Dr. Charles Shuler and Dr. David Macdonald
A radiologist and histopathologist will discuss the correlation between the
radiological and histopathological appearances of common and important
oral and maxillofacial lesions. As most of these lesions are first detected in the
community this course is particularly suitable for family dentists. This course
will also be of interest to both dental and oral and maxillofacial specialists,
otorhinolaryngologists, and all specialty trainees. The radiology will cover both
the conventional and advanced imaging of many of these lesions.
David MacDonald, BDS, BSc(Hons), LLB(Hons), MSc, DDS(Edin),
FDSRCPS, DDRRCR, FRCD(C), trained in the United Kingdom, and was
appointed upon completion of his specialist training at King’s College Hospital,
London, to the University of Hong Kong as Head of the Oral Radiology Unit.
He won his DDS by dissertation from the University of Edinburgh in 2007. The
Edinburgh DDS is at least equivalent to a PhD. In 2007 he also passed the
Fellowship examination of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada. He has also
held appointments at the Universities of Edinburgh and Bergen. Dr MacDonald
has extensive publications (under MacDonald-Jankowski) principally on the
radiological aspects of the epidemiology of disease affecting the face and jaws,
particularly of the Hong Kong Chinese. His paper, ‘Fibro-osseous lesions of the
face and jaws’ in Clinical Radiology (a medical radiology journal) was the 3rd
most downloaded for the 2003/05 academic years; this paper is still in that
journal’s top 25 most downloaded. He is also recognised for the application of
Systematic Review to Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology. Dr. MacDonald is currently
an Associate Professor in the Department of Oral Biological and Medical Sciences,
and Chair of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology in the Faculty of Dentistry at UBC.
