Cone beam computed tomography (or CBCT, also referred to as C-arm CT, cone beam volume CT, flat panel CT or Digital Volume Tomography (DVT)) is a medical imaging technique consisting of X-ray computed tomography where the X-rays are divergent, forming a cone.

Dental cone beam computed tomography (CT) is a special type of x-ray equipment used when regular dental or facial x-rays are not sufficient. Your doctor may use this technology to produce three dimensional (3-D) images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve …

Cone beam computed tomography (cone beam CT, or CBCT) is an advanced x-ray that allows clinicians to take a 3D image of the mouth. Unlike a standard dental x-ray, cone beam CT also images the soft tissues of the mouth, including the gums, tongue, and nerves.

Cone-beam computed tomography systems (CBCT) are a variation of traditional computed tomography (CT) systems. The CBCT systems used by dental professionals rotate around the patient, capturing...

2008年10月1日 · This article on x-ray cone-beam CT (CBCT) acquisition provides an overview of the fundamental principles of operation of this technology and the influence of geometric and software parameters on image quality and patient radiation dose.

2016年6月28日 · Cone beams: This relatively new technology allows dentists to see clear, detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth, bones, and soft tissue. It’s called a cone-beam because the x-ray beam is literally in the shape of a cone, where traditional CT scans use fan shaped x-ray beams.

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a radiographic imaging method that allows accurate, three-dimensional (3D) imaging of hard tissue structures. CBCT is the most significant among the medical diagnostic imaging modalities that have emerged recently.

2019年7月27日 · With a cone beam x-ray, your dentist can better plan to remove teeth, diagnose a joint disorder, place dental implants, and assess your jaw and sinuses. The dentist can also detect jaw tumors, assess bone structure, and create a plan for reconstructive surgery.

A cone beam x-ray can get a more accurate picture than a conventional x-ray. They function by performing a scan in a cone formation that is rotated to get a thorough scan of the entire area. A cone beam takes a 3-D image of your teeth, soft tissue, …

2021年8月1日 · Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a diverse 3D x-ray imaging technique that has gained significant popularity in dental radiology in the last two decades.
