2. CBCT is rapidly becoming the standard in 3D dental imaging.
First generation CBCT was first used in 1982 (Mayo Clinic
Biodynamics
Research Laboratory) to perform angiography.
CBCT scanners are systems that are able to provide 3D
reconstructions that arebased on the reformat of 2D images.
The scan is performed with a single 360 scan
in which the x-ray source and a reciprocating area detector
synchronously move
around the patient’s head, which is stabilized by a head holder
