Cone beam computed tomography is a medical imaging technique consisting of X-ray computed tomography where the X-rays are divergent, forming a cone.
"Population Inversion" occurs when the two
sources are mixed together and photons are given off thereby producing
the "LASER" activity. This activity is resonated or reflected back and
forth within an optical resonator and amplified. A portion of this
activity is then emitted as a LASER beam. Beam splitters or mirrors are
used to capture the particular portion of the LASER beam that is needed
to perform the surgical operation
A CT image comprises slices along a plane of
the object being viewed. The slices, called voxels, are then
reconstructed. The x-ray energy from a CT scan is directed toward an
object from multiple orientations, and the decrease in intensity is
measured along a series of linear paths
In layman's terms, CBCT is a compact, faster and safer version of the
regular CT. Through the use of a cone shaped X-Ray beam, the size of the
scanner, radiation dosage and time needed for scanning are all
dramatically reduced.
A typical CBCT scanner can fit easily into any
dental practice and is easily accessible by patients. The time needed
for a full scan is typically under one minute and the radiation dosage
is up to a hundred times less than that of a regular CT scanner.
