Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a medical imaging technique that uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to produce 3D images of the patient's anatomy. CBCT is similar to traditional CT scans, but it provides a lower radiation dose and allows for a faster scan time.
CBCT is commonly used in dental and maxillofacial imaging to capture detailed images of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. It can also be used for other medical applications, such as orthopedics, spine imaging, and ENT (ear, nose, and throat) imaging.
During a CBCT scan, the patient sits or stands while a machine rotates around them, capturing multiple X-ray images from different angles. The resulting images are reconstructed by a computer to create a detailed 3D model of the area of interest.
CBCT scans are particularly useful for diagnosing complex dental conditions, such as impacted teeth, dental implants, and jaw deformities. They can also be used for planning and guiding surgical procedures, such as dental implant placement and orthodontic treatment.
