Question 307 · LDEK · Radiological diagnosis
Indicate the true statements regarding cone beam computed tomography (volumetric imaging):
1) does not generate ionizing radiation;
2) compared with X-ray, allows to define the anatomy of roots and canals more precisely;
3) it allows the detection of inflammatory changes in periapical tissues invisible on X-ray images;
4) it gives the possibility of an image analysis in two planes: axial and sagittal, but not in the frontal plane.
The correct answer is:
2) compared with X-ray, allows to define the anatomy of roots and canals more precisely;
