What is CBCT?

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a medical imaging technique consisting of X-ray computed tomography where the X-rays are divergent, forming a cone. CBCT is widely used in dentistry, surgical planning, and interventional radiology, providing three-dimensional images of hard tissues.
