Your doctor may use this technology to produce three dimensional 3 d images of your teeth soft tissues nerve pathways and bone in a single scan.
Scanner cone beam sinus.
Cone beam computed tomography cbct is a promising modality for quick outpatient imaging with lower radiation dose and less metal artifact when compared to conventional ct mdct scans.
The scan showed a large area of infection characterized by bone loss measuring 10mm by 9 mm and approaching the maxillary sinus.
This allows us to minimize radiation while providing a high tech three dimensional image of the sinuses.
The x ray images are reconstructed by use of algorithms to come up with 3d high resolution images.
Your patients will leave their appointment appreciating and knowing they are receiving a thorough examination.
