The cone beam computed tomography (CT) scan machine is a cutting-edge medical imaging device.  It utilizes cone-shaped X-ray beams to generate detailed three-dimensional images of a patient’s anatomy. It is commonly used in dental and maxillofacial imaging, but it can also be applied in other areas such as orthopedics and ENT (ear, nose, and throat) examinations.

Furthermore, the cone beam CT scan machine works by rotating a C-arm, around the patient’s head or body. As the C-arm rotates, it captures a series of X-ray images from various angles. Unlike traditional CT scanners, which use a fan-shaped X-ray beam, the cone beam CT employs a cone-shaped beam, hence its name.
