Cone Beam – CT (Dental):
Cone-Beam CT images have a higher spatial resolution than conventional CT. Maxilla and mandibula can be scanned in one acquisition (Cylinder: 16 cm. diameter, 13 cm. height), with a substantial lower radiation exposure, and less metal artifacts, compared to classical CT. The images have a 0.2 mm. resolution, in each direction (axial, frontal, sagittal, parasagittal).
Apart from the axial images, 'Dentascan'-type reconstructions can be made if necessary, orthogonal on the dental crest. All images are easily visible through a cloud application, and can be imported in specific dental applications in DICOM format (type Nobelcare, Romexis, ..).
Examples:
Included and infected molar3, with sinusitis and labial bone perforation.
