Abstract

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was developed in the early 80 s by the Biodynamics Research Unit at the Mayo Clinic for develo** “high temporal resolution and synchronous volume scanning” [1]. Over the past 40 years, CBCT has evolved in two directions: aided interventional radiology (IR) procedures and in oral/maxillofacial radiology [2]. These two streams were developed for two different reasons, in particular, in the set of interventional radiology procedures, for the possibility to supply unique planning and prognostic information and, concerning oral/maxillofacial radiology, for high-quality images, compact size, low cost, and low-ionizing radiation [2].
