“Wherever possible and as long as the patient agrees to the resulting costs, I prefer using CBCT for questions regarding the osseous structures of the skull: The resolution is higher and radiation exposure lower than with a computer tomography. With CBCT, you always have a 3D dataset that can be viewed by the referring physician as well using the viewer that is provided free of charge.“
