Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an essential imaging method that increases the accuracy of diagnoses, planning and follow-up of endodontic complex cases. Image postprocessing and subsequent visualization relies on software for three-dimensional navigation, and application of indexation tools to provide clinically useful information according to a set of volumetric data. Image postprocessing has a crucial impact on diagnostic quality and various techniques have been employed on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data sets. These include: multiplanar reformations (MPR), maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR). A recent advance in 3D data visualization is the new cinematic rendering reconstruction method, a technique that generates photorealistic 3D images from conventional CT and MRI data. This review discusses the importance of CBCT cinematic rendering for clinical decision-making, teaching, and research in Endodontics, and a presents series of cases that illustrate the diagnostic value of 3D cinematic rendering in clinical care.
锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）是一种重要的成像方法，可提高根管复杂病例诊断、计划和随访的准确性。图像后处理和随后的可视化依赖于用于三维导航的软件，以及索引工具的应用，根据一组体积数据提供临床有用的信息。图像后处理对诊断质量有至关重要的影响，已经在计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）数据集上使用了各种技术。这些技术包括：多平面重建（MPR）、最大密度投影（MIP）和容积再现（VR）。三维数据可视化的一项新进展是新的电影渲染重建方法，该技术可从常规 CT 和 MRI 数据生成逼真的三维图像。这篇综述讨论了 CBCT 电影渲染在根管治疗临床决策、教学和研究中的重要性，并展示了一系列病例，说明了 3D 电影渲染在临床护理中的诊断价值。
