An upgraded Cone Beam Computerized Tomogram, a cutting-edge technology in head and neck radiology, was inaugurated at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital by K Vijay Kumar, senior security advisor, Union home ministry, on Friday.
In a conventional CT scan, a patient is often exposed to an equivalent of 120 x-rays. The older version of the CBCT reduced this to a tenth of that and the latest version has minimized it to 3-4 ordinary x-rays. CBCT can be used multiple times ,even in children, without fear of excessive exposure to radiation. In 2010, Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital was the first to introduce CBCT scan in south India, said director Dr S M Balaji. “This state-of-art technology further allows accurate visualization of nerves, arteries and veins in a three dimensional format,” said Dr Balaji who represents TN in the Dental Council of India.
