Introduction:

Cone Based CT (CBCT) scanning uses a point source and a planar detector with parallel data acquisition and volumetric coverage of the area of interest. The pedCAT (Curvebeam USA) scanner is marketed as a low radiation dose, compact, faster and inexpensive CT scanner that can be used to obtain both non- weightbearing and true 3 dimensional weightbearing views.

Method:

A review of the first 100 CBCT scanning in our unit has been performed to assess ease of scanning, imaging time, radiation dose and value of imaging as opposed to conventional imaging.
