no but im asking if its LITERALLY an entirely different thing compared to a regular CT scan. like if i go in for a CT scan and get it, it won't tbe the same compared to a 3DCT right?

cbct, ceph, 3D imaging

Please elaborate on why 3d imaging and ceph would be necessary in addition to CBCT

Consult with a maxillofacial surgeon, get their referral which says exactly which type of CT scan u need, bring it to ur clinic and they do the rest.

Unless otherwise specified a CT scan technically just means a single 2d "slice." 3D CT scan will take many such slices across your head in order to reconstruct your whole skull including bone and soft tissue. A cephalogram is a general term referring to any scan of the head.

CBCT scans are usually done at dental and orthodontic offices. They tend to be done at dental and orthodontic offices and tend to be low resolution, may not capture the entire head, may not capture soft tissue...They suffice for very simple jaw surgeries though.

What you want is a 3D CT Scan. Get a referral from a surgeon because they will have specifications on the field of view, gantry tilt, level of resolution, etc...

Got it, thanks.
