You have been referred to us by your Dentist or Doctor for a CBCT scan. Advances in dental and medical technology over the past 30 years have led to the development of the CBCT scan device. It is now regarded as one of the most advanced methods of capturing 3D images of patients while utilizing a very low dose of radiation. The CBCT technology captures hundreds of x-ray images in a matter of seconds. In addition, the scanner rotates around you, allowing for a completed 360 degree imaging of the target scanned. By contrast, a traditional X-ray can only capture a two dimensional snapshot. The advantage of a CBCT over X-ray is that it allows your Dentist or Doctor to analyze the scan layer by layer on a computer, and give them the tools necessary to make a more accurate analysis and diagnosis to assess your condition and subsequently develop your treatment plan.
