Can X-ray grids be used for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, and if so, how does it affect image acquisition?

X-ray grids are generally not used in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Unlike traditional X-ray imaging, where grids are employed to reduce scattered radiation and enhance image quality, CBCT systems are designed to capture a three-dimensional volume of data in a single rotation. The use of a grid in CBCT can obstruct the passage of the X-rays, leading to significant attenuation and negatively impacting image acquisition.

CBCT systems utilize a divergent X-ray beam, capturing data through a 360-degree rotation around the patient. Grids are not practical in this scenario as they can interfere with the efficient acquisition of data from multiple angles. Instead, CBCT focuses on advanced reconstruction algorithms to manage scattered radiation, providing detailed volumetric images without the need for a grid. Whatsapp:+86 18953679166.
