CBCT Use in Daily Practice

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Maxillofacial Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Abstract

Whilethere are some operational similarities between dental panoramic radiography and maxillofacial cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), the use of CBCT in daily practice necessitates that the clinician develop a higher level of technical competency in a variety of skill sets and radiologic interpretive expertise. The purpose of this Chapter is to underline the technical parameters by which practitioners can provide diagnostically acceptable images at the lowest reasonable dose by developing equipment specific exposure and acquisition protocols. To extract the most information from the CBCT scan, a generic algorithm is provided to optimize volumetric display. Specific image analysis functions and their appropriate applications as well as the prerequisites for radiologic reports are also presented. Finally, a comprehensive practical strategy for ensuring information optimized, minimal dose CBCT imaging is outlined.
