Study Notes
Advantages of CBCT vs CT
- Significantly reduces radiation exposure to patients compared to traditional CT scans.
- More cost-effective option for imaging than CT radiography.
- Allows for selection of specific Regions of Interest (ROI), limiting the beam to targeted areas for better precision.
- Features a rapid scanning process, often completed in mere seconds.
- Utilizes user-friendly software that includes enhancement options, facilitating easier interpretation of images.
- Provides high image accuracy and resolution, owing to advanced technology.
- Employs three-dimensional imaging that consists of small blocks, known as voxels.
- Contains numerous tiny, isometric voxels that contribute to detailed image quality.
- Employs three-dimensional imaging that consists of small blocks, known as voxels.
