Abstract:
Digital volume tomography (DVT) is an advancement of panoramic tomography used in dentistry. DVT enables precise display of fine osseous structures without any disturbing artefacts. This makes its application interesting in the field of the lateral, anterior skull base and paranasal sinuses, as well as for the diagnosis of nasal bone fractures. The tomograms can be completed according to need by volume rendering or panoramic slices within a short time. Assuming they have the appropriate technical qualifications in radiation protection, ENT specialists are even able to perform tomography independently using DVT.

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...

MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
