Stationary intraoral tomosynthesis (s-IOT) is an innovative imaging modality designed to overcome limitations of conventional bitewing radiography, notably proximal overlap. Based on carbon nanotube field emission technology, s-IOT acquires multiple projections across a 12° span and reconstructs them into high-resolution tomographic slices. Research indicates lower radiation dose compared to standard techniques and improved detection of proximal caries, periodontal bone loss, root fractures, and complex root morphologies including the direction and degree of dilaceration. Integration with synthetic radiography reduces artifacts and enhances interpretation. Future developments combining s-IOT with artificial intelligence and dual-energy imaging may further expand diagnostic potential, positioning s-IOT as a promising clinical tool.

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...
