Cone Beam CT of the Head and Neck - An Anatomical Atlas is dedicated to the memory of the three anonymous individuals whose cadaver prosections are the subject matter of this atlas. They unknowingly have made a donation to science that will benefit students and clinicians in the imaging sciences. The handling of the cadaver donations that are displayed in this clinical atlas was managed with respect and driven by scientific yearn for discovery; the discovery to benefit the current and next generation of clinicians and researchers. These donations will enrich the basic foundational knowledge base of human anatomy as depicted in cone beam CT imaging. The current effort made it possible to correlate the CBCT images with the actual physical image. This is a foundational knowledge base from which to build and make new discoveries. Future generations can then build on this foundational knowledge base to identify bone density states, tissue function profiles (atrophy, hypertrophy, etc) disease states (neoplasia, metaplasia, etc.). We trust that the boundaries have few limits.
This pocket clinical atlas was produced to help dental and medical colleagues understand and correlate structures of the head and neck with cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) imaging technology.
Methods used for radiographic evaluation and diagnosis have undergone enormous changes in the last 20 years. New technologies are being developed and are becoming readily available to the medical and dental field. The advancements in hardware and software have allowed the development of innovative methods for facial diagnosis, treatment planning, and clinical application.
CBCT was developed in the 1990s as an advancement in technology resulting from the demand for three-dimensional (3D) information obtained by conventional computed tomography (CT) scans. The development of CBCT technology reduces exposure by using lower radiation dose, compared with conventional CT. As the demand for the technology increases, so has the market for custom built craniomaxillofacial CBCT devices. The rates of increase for CBCTs have been increasing in number on the market over the last decade and a variety of applications to the facial and dental environments have been established.
