What is CBCT?

CBCT stands for Cone Beam Computed Tomography. It is an advanced form of X-ray that uses a cone shaped beam to scan and collect images of the mouth, jaw, and face. A CBCT scan provides more detailed images that can be viewed in 3D from different angles, providing doctors with valuable information for treatment planning. 

What Will the Course Cover? 

This course will cover many different aspects of CBCT, including: 

• How to read CBCT scan images. 
• Using CBCT images to fine tune or improve treatment plans. 
• Better patient care through use of CBCT. 
• Hands-on experience. 

The purpose of the course is to help doctors and radiologic technologists learn how to use CBCT scanners and the images they create to better serve patients. CBCT scans provide intricate details that other X-ray images may not show, allowing doctors to use visual investigation to design treatment plans that will better address patients’ conditions for more positive outcomes.
