Cone Beam CT or CBCT

Cone beam computed tomography, CBCT, or Cone Beam CT, is a medical imaging technique consisting of X-ray computed tomography where the X-rays are divergent, forming a cone.

CBCT has become increasingly important in treatment planning and diagnosis in dental implant dentistry, ENT, orthopedics, and interventional radiology. With the increased access to such technology, CBCT scanners are now finding many uses in dentistry, such as in the fields of oral surgery, endodontics, and orthodontics. Integrated CBCT is also an important tool for patient positioning and verification in image-guided radiation therapy.
