Cone beam computed tomography
ID: cone-beam-computed-tomography
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a medical imaging technique that uses X-ray equipment to create detailed 3D images of the body, particularly the bone structures and dental anatomy. Unlike traditional CT scans, which use a series of flat X-ray images taken from multiple angles to create cross-sectional images, CBCT employs a cone-shaped X-ray beam that captures a volumetric image in a single rotation around the patient.
