CT Scans and the Cancer Battle
'US researchers argue that the growth of CT scan use over the years has increased the risk of higher radiation exposures, which may result in a significant public health problem ... And this is where Cone Beam CT comes in handy. The major advantage of CBCT over medical CT is the lower radiation dose.'
MoreCBCT: A Patients' Perspective
'Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in dentistry is high resolution, low distortion, digital imaging of the hard tissues of the head. Instead of pixels, the resolution is measured in voxels, and often is sharper than a conventional CT. Cone-beam refers to the cone shape of the x-ray beam, unlike conventional CT, which uses a fan-shaped beam to create multiple thin slices.'
