CBCT Scanner 1 article

A CBCT scanner is a dental imaging system that uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam and rotating detector to create three-dimensional volumetric data of the jaws and craniofacial region. Dental applications include implant planning, assessment of impacted teeth, selected endodontic questions and evaluation of maxillofacial anatomy, with field of view chosen according to the clinical task. Software reconstructs multiplanar and 3D views, commonly using DICOM data. CBCT provides 3D information but involves different indications and radiation considerations from routine 2D dental radiography.
