Diagnostic Capabilities of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in the Detection of Pathological Conditions of the Craniovertebral Region. Part 1 – analysis

Abstract

For the timely detection of pathology, as well as in order to avoid overdiagnosis, it is important to create criteria for diagnosing the pathology of the craniovertebral zone in adults and children, taking into account their anatomical and physiological features. To date, the questions of the optimal method of radiodiagnosis of patients with pathology of the craniovertebral region are insufficiently voluminous and clearly defined. Despite the advantages, cone beam computed tomography is still not widely used in everyday clinical diagnostic practice for the study of the craniovertebral region in the population. The use of the technique of cone beam computed tomography could greatly facilitate radiological diagnosis for the detection of anomalies and pathological conditions of the craniovertebral region.
