Cone-beam CT
Modern CBCT scanner
Absolutely safe
For children aged 5+
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a modern, high-tech diagnostic method that produces three-dimensional images of bone structures and soft tissues with exceptional accuracy. CBCT is widely used in dentistry, maxillofacial surgery, and otolaryngology.
This method is indispensable for diagnostics and treatment planning. It allows doctors to view the examined area from any angle and detect even the smallest pathologies that are not always visible on traditional X-rays.
At Medincentre, CBCT is performed using the advanced KaVo 3D eXam scanner, which employs low-dose technology, making the procedure safe for both adults and children.
Contraindications for CBCT
Although CBCT is highly safe, there are certain contraindications:
-
Pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, due to even minimal radiation exposure.
-
Uncontrolled mental disorders, when a patient cannot remain still during the procedure.
-
Severe claustrophobia, although CBCT machines are more open than traditional CT scanners.
If contraindications are present, the doctor will choose alternative diagnostic methods.
When is CBCT Necessary?
CBCT is recommended in the following cases:
-
Implant and prosthetic treatment planning. Provides detailed visualization of jaw anatomy and bone structures.
-
Diagnosis of sinusitis and other sinus diseases. Ensures a highly accurate assessment of paranasal sinus condition.
-
Detection of bone injuries and pathologies. Helps diagnose fractures, cracks, and abnormalities.
-
Preparation for complex surgeries. Creation of a 3D model of the area for precise surgical planning.

Can children have CBCT?
Yes, the procedure is safe for children over 5 years old.
How long does the procedure take?
About 5–10 minutes. The patient sits or stands in the scanner while it creates a 3D model.
When are the results ready?
The doctor issues a conclusion within 1–2 hours after the examination.
Do I need to prepare?
No special preparation is needed. Remove glasses, jewelry, and removable dentures before the scan.
Who can refer for CBCT?
Dentists, ENT doctors, traumatologists, surgeons — especially maxillofacial surgeons.
How is CBCT different from regular CT?
CBCT provides more detailed bone images with a lower radiation dose.
