I found out this weekend that my Monday CBCT that I thought was just a 3D image of one tooth is a CT scan of my whole head! I had a CT scan of my chest 5 yrs ago, a CT scan of my throat 2 yrs ago, and a CT scan of my thoracic spine 2 weeks ago, and now one of my whole head wow! All of this radiation! They open at 9AM and can't get anyone to answer and my appointment at 1:30PM I leave as early as 12:25PM to get there. I'm upset because no one told me it was going to be of my whole head! Is that too much radiation. I also think of all the red blood cells that get hit with radiation constantly circulating in my body and how many times they get radiation too. Should I cancel? I talked to the clinic last week and they just say it's like 5 days in the sun but in my case so many CT scans! Does anyone know? I'd appreciate any input. They never said it would be of my whole head! Another thing they don't say at their website is what model of a scanner they have and how old it is. Why? Thanks for this video!
Hey, hi. Compared to CT, CBCT is of low radiation and also has an option of taking a single tooth which will reduce the radiation to the region where the scan is required also and you may request a lead apron to wear during exposure to avoid unwanted or scattered rays to other parts of the body.

One of the best courses
Hi do you read reports and give a second opinion via email?
