By taking a series of x-ray “slices” and stitching the images together with a powerful computer program, Cone Beam CT imaging creates a virtual model of your mouth. This clear picture allows us to more precisely diagnose and treat.
The iCAT 3D Cone Beam Scanner System is a cutting-edge alternative to the traditional CT scan and an incredible improvement on the traditional x-ray. First and foremost, it dramatically decreases the amount of patient exposure to radiation. As its name implies, 3-D imaging also provides more accuracy and efficiency in monitoring growth and diagnosing problems. The machine works by taking a series of x-ray “slices” and then stitching the images together with a powerful computer program. The Cone Beam CT digital images capture a thorough view the entire mouth, jaw and skull cavity from every angle. These clear images allows us to more precisely diagnose and treat your dental condition.
Feel free to ask us any questions about our in-office imaging systems during your visit.
