Advantages of Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography over Older Imaging Modalities Lie in Delivery of High-Quality Images with Minimal Interference from External Sources


 

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an imaging technique used for tomography or scanning of the internal organs. It is the latest addition to the range of diagnostic imaging methods. Many clinical radiology procedures, including CBCT and ultrasound, use the same imaging technologies to create a detailed image of the internal organs like the heart or the abdominal organs. However, unlike CT and ultrasound, which require direct contact between the probe and the targeted organ, diagnostic imaging procedures like computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound cannot be used if the patient is not wearing the required equipment.

The advantages of using the cone beam computed tomography over the older imaging modalities lie in the delivery of high-quality images with minimal interference from external sources. The main advantage is that the cone-beam scanning system can be used to acquire high-resolution images of complex shapes, with high dynamic range, high contrast ratios and excellent signal to noise ration. Further, CT offers higher spatial resolution at lower power levels than the other existing imaging modalities. With these advantages, CT has proved to be a valuable part of the health care system. Such advantages have led to approval and launch of new products. In December 2018, EhmetDX, received the U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for its 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography positioning software. The software is used to guide the position of proton beams in patient treatments.

There are several uses of the cone beam computed tomography. One of them is the diagnosis and treatment of fractures in the neck, lower back, feet and ankles and shoulder/hip joints. For treating shoulder/hip joint fractures, ultrasound guided transducer procedures are employed. Cone Beam Computed Tomography is also applied in the field of pediatrics wherein ultrasound guided excimer beams are used for determining the location of abnormalities in the inner ear, abdominal cavity, abdomen and cranial bones. This method has also been very helpful in the localization of tumors in the head, neck and spine of pediatric patients.
