Dental X-ray Imaging Types
There are a few different options when it comes to dental x-ray imaging, listed below are the types available from the Vatech product range.
CT (Computerised Tomography): A CT scan creates a series of x-ray images that are then pieced together to form a series of slices that can be viewed as a 3D (three dimensional) image.
PANO (Panoramic): A Panoramic x-ray creates a 2D (two dimensional) image of the whole mouth and jaw (slightly stretched) showing the teeth as a single image.
CEPH (Cephalometric): A Cephalometric x-ray image creates a 2D (two dimensional) image looking at the head, neck and jaw
Intraoral: An intraoral x-ray image creates a 2D (two dimensional) image looking at a small region of teeth within the mouth.
CBCT (Cone-beam Computed Tomography): Much like the CT image the CBCT creates a series of x-ray images that are then pieced together to form a series of slices that can be viewed as a 3D (three dimensional) image. The main difference between the two is that the CBCT uses a directed radiation exposure with a cone-beam rather than the CTs fan/ scattered beam.

Thanks for this post, I am a big big fan of this site would like to continue updated.
It’s exhausting to seek out educated individuals on this topic, but you sound like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
You really make it appear so easy with your presentation but I to find this topic to be really one thing that I believe I’d never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely wide for me. I am having a look forward on your next put up, I?¦ll attempt to get the cling of it!
