What is CBCT?
CBCT stands for Cone Beam Computed Tomography. It is an innovative medical imaging technology that uses X-rays to produce detailed three-dimensional (3D) images of bone structures and teeth.
Key Features and Uses
- 3D Images: Unlike traditional X-rays or even conventional computed tomography (CT) scans, which emit cylindrical beams, CBCT uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam, allowing a complete volume of data to be captured in a single rotation.
- Low Radiation: This technique involves a significantly lower dose of ionising radiation compared to a conventional CT scan, making it safer for the patient.
- Diagnosis and Planning: It allows us to obtain an accurate diagnosis for planning procedures such as dental implant placement, impacted tooth extraction, and orthodontic evaluations.
- Anatomical Detail: It provides specific, high-resolution anatomical details that are often not visible in traditional radiographic examinations.
