Abstract:
In this second of 2 papers about technological developments in dental radiology, we discuss the legal impact of using digital monitors and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) on dental practice. Although some technical developments such as charge-coupled devices and photostimulatable phosphors are commonly used in the dental profession, some, such as greyscale monitors, are better known in medicine as standards of care for primary diagnosis. This complex subject has been overviewed. The recent emergence of CBCT, which is changing current approaches to imaging for preimplant planning, has provoked a number of legal dilemmas, such as an accompanying responsibility for reading and interpreting large fields of view that include extragnathic areas that are ordinarily outside the dentist"s purview.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
