Abstract/OtherAbstract:
I-Cat Scan Cone Beam CT (CBCT) technology is rapidly replacing two dimensional radiography in the medical world. Virtual patients may be viewed on a screen and multiple sectional views observed in order to obtain more definitive diagnostic and treatment options. The authors give a brief overview of some opportunities available using I-Cat technology as well as multiple actual cases where subjective diagnosis has been reduced substantially through CBCT technology.
