Abstract
Conebeam CT (CBCT) is an imaging technique that employs a divergent x-ray source and usually a large-area flat-panel detector to form a cone-shaped exposure to the imaged object. Such a configuration guarantees the volume coverage of one large object and achieves the volumetric imaging within one single scan. The first CBCT scanner entered the market in 1996 as the dental scanner by NewTom Corp. Subsequently, CBCT was extended to multiple clinical applications, including implantology, orthopedics, interventional radiology, and radiation oncology.
