WHAT IS A CONE BEAM?

Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is an advanced medical imaging technique that uses X-ray data to create a precise 3D image. Unlike traditional scans, cone beam CT (CBCT) is designed to focus on smaller, complex structures such as the head, neck, jaw, teeth, joints, nasal cavity, and sinuses.

This highly accurate imaging method provides exceptional detail of bone structures, making it invaluable for evaluating:

  • Diseases of the jaw and dentition
  • Bony facial structures
  • The nasal cavity and sinuses
  • Joint health and abnormalities

At Diagnostic Radiological Services, our cone beam CT (CBCT) scans are performed using advanced equipment, with each case reported by an experienced radiologist for reliable results.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN GETTING A CONE BEAM CT?

  • Your cone beam CT (CBCT) examination will be conducted by a professional radiographer in a safe and comfortable environment. Here’s what to expect:

    Before the Scan

    • You will be asked to remove metal items such as zippers, belts, buttons, jewellery, glasses, dentures, and hairpins.
    • A gown will be provided for the procedure.

    During the Scan

    • You will lie down, and the radiographer will assist with correct positioning.
    • The scan itself is painless and non-invasive.
    • The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.

    After the Scan

    • A radiologist reviews images.
    • Your referring doctor will receive the detailed report for further diagnosis and treatment planning.
