Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography for radiological assessment beyond dento-maxillofacial imaging: a review of the clinical applications in other anatomical districts.

CBCT represents a promising technology not only for imaging of the head and upper and lower extremities but for all the orthopedic districts. Moreover, the application of CBCT derived from C-arms (without the possibility of a 360 ° rotation range) during invasive investigations demonstrates the feasibility of this technique for non-standard anatomical areas, from soft tissues to vascular beds, despite the limits due to the incomplete rotation of the tube.
