  1. Dental Cone Beam CT Frank Goerner Graduate Student UT-Health Science Center San Antonio /7

  2. How CBCT Works • Similar to current CT technology • Uses cone shaped x-ray beam • 2-D flat panel detector • Gives volumetric data /7

  3. Advantages in Dental Imaging • Lower dose than helical CT • Compact design • Superior images to Panoramic • Low cost • Low heat load Dose: Panoramic: 6-20 µSv CBCT: 20-70 µSv Conventional CT: 314 µSv /7

  4. CBCT vs. Panoramic Cephalometric CBCT image Cephalometric Panoramic image The i-Cat CBCT /7

  5. Periodontal ligament spaces easily recognizable in the dental CT but not satisfactory in the CBCT CBCT Shortcomings • Metal artifacts? • Worse low contrast detectability • Long scan times = motion artifacts • Slightly Inferior quality to conventional CT /7

  6. Applications of CBCT • Great for pre-planning for implant surgery • Virtual Surgery • Conventional CT diagnosis at 1/5 the dose • Tumor detection • Airway visualization /7

  7. Conclusions • CBCT offers less dose than conventional CT • CBCT offers superior images and diagnosis to panoramic • More practical than a conventional CT /7
