SLOB Rule

In your radiology classes, remember learning the SLOB rule? This is a handy little technique to use to figure out where an abscess is, trauma is, etc on a 2D image from a 3D human. Now with cone beam technology, this little rule isn’t used as often. But, if your office doesn’t have a cone beam, or your patient isn’t willing to pay the extra money for the more advanced radiograph, you can try out this method. Check out the video below that explains the rule.
