CBCTscans
CBCTscans, commonly written as CBCT scans, refers to medical imaging performed with cone beam computed tomography. The technology uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam and a flat-panel detector that rotate around the patient to acquire volumetric data, which is reconstructed into three-dimensional images with isotropic voxels.
CBCT is widely used in dental and maxillofacial practice for implant planning, endodontics, orthodontics, temporomandibular joint
Advantages of CBCT include high spatial resolution for hard tissues, relatively lower radiation dose compared with
Interpretation requires training, and images are typically exported in DICOM format for viewing with specialized software.
