FRIGI BISSOLI, Cleber et al. Importance and aplications of Cone-Ceam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Acta odontol. venez [online]. 2007, vol.45, n.4, pp.589-592. ISSN 0001-6365.

The cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been applied to Dentistry and Medicine all over the world. This system is based on an algorithm which corrects the deformities and instabilities of the tomographic images, providing a more precise visualization of tumors and regions of interest. Therefore, the professional will easily localize, with a minimum degree of mistake, the target for surgical and radiotherapic treatments, among others, and achieve a better treatment plan for the patient.
