CBCT: sebuah tinjauan teknik pencitraan moderen (CBCT: a review of modern imaging techniques ) Sarianoferni *, Endah Wahjuningsih** *Laboratorium Radiologi Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Hang Tuah **Laboratorium Anatomi Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Hang Tuah Abstract Cone beam computed tomography is the more recently extraoral imaging introduced. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has evolved that allows 3-D visualization of the oral and maxillofacial complex from any plane. This imaging modality eliminates the shortcomings of 2-D imaging, produces a smaller radiation dose than that produced by medical CT and enables clinicians to make more accurate treatment planning decisions, which can lead to more successful surgical procedures. Questions that cannot be answered in the dentist’s office with conventional radiographs are now answered in radiology departments with dental CBCT. The clinician must determine the risk and benefit of imaging for each patient. Clinicians are rapidly realizing the significant advantages of CBCT imaging. Factors to consider in determining whether to purchase a CBCT device or to refer patients to imaging centers include cost, training, time required to generate images and reports, data transmission and storage,and responsibility for interpretation and pathology review. The overall goal of this article is to provide dental professionals with information on the introduction of radiographic imaging to dentistry of dental imaging towards 3-dimensional imaging with cone-beam CT.
