CBCTkuvausta

CBCTkuvausta refers to Cone Beam Computed Tomography imaging. It is a specialized type of X-ray used in dentistry and other medical fields to create detailed three-dimensional images of teeth, bones, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and sinuses. Unlike conventional medical CT scans, CBCT utilizes a cone-shaped X-ray beam that rotates around the patient, capturing multiple images in a single rotation. These images are then reconstructed by a computer to produce a 3D model.

The primary advantage of CBCTkuvausta is its ability to provide a more comprehensive view than traditional 2D X-rays. It allows clinicians to visualize anatomical structures in their true spatial relationships, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning. Applications include dental implant placement, orthodontic assessments, endodontic evaluations, and the diagnosis of jaw and facial conditions. CBCT systems typically deliver a lower radiation dose compared to conventional medical CT scans, though the dose can vary depending on the scan parameters and area being imaged. The image acquisition process is usually quick, taking only a few seconds to minutes. After acquisition, the data is processed and can be manipulated on a computer for detailed analysis by the healthcare professional.
