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 ratio...
