The introduction of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) devices, changed the way oral and maxillofacial radiology is practiced. CBCT was embraced into the dental settings very rapidly due to its compact size, low cost, low ionizing radiation exposure when compared to medical computed tomography. Alike medical CT, 3 dimensional evaluation of the maxillofacial region with minimal distortion is offered by the CBCT. This article provides an overview of basics of CBCT technology and reviews the specific application of CBCT technology to oral and maxillofacial region with few illustrations.
锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)设备的引入改变了口腔颌面放射学的实践方式。CBCT因其体积小巧、成本低、与医用计算机断层扫描相比电离辐射暴露低,很快被应用于牙科领域。与医用CT一样,CBCT能够对颌面部区域进行三维评估,且失真极小。本文概述了CBCT技术的基础知识,并通过少量插图回顾了CBCT技术在口腔颌面部区域的具体应用。
