Abstract

This chapter provides an introduction to the basic principles of computed tomography. It discusses the relevant hardware and software components of a CBCT system and its impact on image quality. It reviews radiation dose considerations when using this x-ray-based imaging modality, and provides data to help communicate radiation risks to the patient. It discusses methods to minimize patient radiation exposure and guides the reader to select an appropriate protocol for CBCT imaging.
