IMAGING MODALITIES • Intraoral Radiography • Panoramic Radiography • Conventional Tomography • Computed Tomography • Cone Beam Computed Tomography
PARALLELING TECHNIQUE IS RECOMMENDED IMAGE WAS INTENTIONALLY FORESHORTENED PARALLELING TECHNIQUE
In conventional tomography, a separate exposure is made to produce each cross-sectional image.
Advantages • No superimposition of structures • Image acquisition in multiple planes • Hard-tissue and soft-tissue imaging • Digital image enhancement
CONE BEAM CT Cone shaped beam One flat panel sensor
Advantages/Disadvantages over Medical CT Less radiation Lower cost Image Noise Poor soft-tissue contrast Fixed imaging volume
More scatter radiation Poor soft-tissue contrast MEDICAL CT CONE BEAM CT
