Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
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...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...
Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Radiology
  • Endodontics

Background:

  • Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a modern radiological imaging system.
  • It is specifically designed for the maxillo-facial skeleton.
  • CBCT overcomes limitations of conventional radiography by producing undistorted 3D images.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature on CBCT in endodontic practice.
  • To explore the limitations and potential applications of CBCT.
  • To highlight CBCT's suitability for endodontic use.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on CBCT in endodontics.
  • Analysis of CBCT's imaging properties and radiation dose.
  • Evaluation of clinical benefits in endodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.

Main Results:

  • CBCT provides undistorted 3D images of the maxillo-facial area.
  • It enhances anatomical appreciation for improved endodontic disease detection.
  • CBCT offers a significantly lower effective radiation dose compared to conventional CT.

Conclusions:

  • CBCT is highly suitable for endodontic practice due to its imaging capabilities.
  • It leads to more effective treatment planning and diagnosis.
  • Further review of its limitations and applications is warranted.
