Determining the bucco-lingual dimension, investigating the morphology of a root, localizing the inferior alveolar nerve are just some of the uses of Cone Beam examinations. In most cases they are used to aid and confirm clinical diagnosis where other imaging options have been exhausted or are inconclusive.
It's an examination that produces images in 3 planes with higher resolution images and lower amounts of radiation dose when compared to medical CT scanners. Cone beam CT examinations produce geometrically accurate images that can be viewed from 3 planes. Orthopantomography and intraoral examinations in comparison only permit the viewing of a structure from 1 plane at a time with varying degrees of geometrical innaccuracy depending on how well the examination was carried out.
Cone Beam CT is a safe and effective dental imaging technique within the dental industry, providing the clearest images available. We were the first Radiology practice to introduce CBCT technology to Melbourne & Victoria and we have become one of the most experienced with over 20 years in dental imaging. We provide patients with J-Morita CBCT scans, which is a brand of cone beam technology just like the i-Cat is.
