CBCT Scans: A Safer More Detailed Approach to Medical Imaging
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced method that offers safer, more thorough, and more affordable diagnostic insights in the constantly changing field of medical imaging. In contrast to conventional CT scans, CBCT provides sharper images with less radiation exposure, which is revolutionizing its application in orthopedics, dentistry, and other medical specialties. The definition of CBCT, its benefits over traditional imaging techniques, and the reasons it's growing in popularity among patients and medical professionals will all be covered in this blog. A CBCT scan: what is it? A cone-shaped X-ray beam is used in a specific type of computed tomography (CT) called a CBCT scan to provide finely detailed three-dimensional images of the body. With just one rotation around the patient, CBCT creates high-resolution, three-dimensional images, in contrast to conventional CT scans, which use fan-shaped X-rays to acquire cross-sectional images. Doctors can see bones, soft tissu...
