Cone Beam CT (CBCT)

Queensland Radiology Specialists provides advanced Cone Beam CT (CBCT) for detailed, high-resolution 3D imaging of the head, neck, and dental structures. CBCT is a specialised type of CT scan that produces precise images while minimising radiation exposure.

Availability: CBCT scans are available at our Mount Gravatt and Chermside clinics.

What Is a CBCT Scan?

CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam and computer processing to create detailed 3D images of bones, teeth, jaw, sinuses, and facial structures.

CBCT is commonly used for:

  • Dental implant planning

     

  • Assessment of teeth and jaw bone

     

  • Impacted or unerupted teeth evaluation

     

  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) assessment

     

  • Sinus and airway evaluation

     

  • Pre- and post-surgical planning

     

CBCT provides more precise detail than standard dental X-rays, allowing better diagnosis and treatment planning.

Is a CBCT Scan Safe?

CBCT uses low-dose radiation compared to conventional CT, making it safe for dental and craniofacial imaging.

All scans are performed under strict safety protocols to minimise exposure while maintaining high-quality imaging.
