Cone beam imaging refers to a computed tomography technique used for maxillofacial and dental surgeries. It generates three dimensional (3D) images of bones, nerve paths, soft tissues and dental structures in the craniofacial region. The imaging machine includes a cone-shaped digital X-ray scanner mounted on a 360-degree rotating arm to obtain images from multiple angles in a single scan. In comparison to the traditionally used techniques, the cone-beam technique is non-invasive, requires lesser radiation dose and provides high-quality 3D images. As a result, it is extensively used for various clinical applications, such as dental implant planning, visualization of abnormal teeth, evaluation of face and jaw deformities, cleft palate assessment and diagnosis of dental caries.
The increasing prevalence of oral problems, along with the rising geriatric population across the globe, represents one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growing consumer preference for cosmetic dentistry is creating a positive outlook for the market. Healthcare providers are also using cone beam imaging for the improved study of airway pathology and anesthesiology. Additionally, various technological advancements, such as the development of flat panel detectors for conducting image-guided surgeries, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Imaging device manufacturers are producing novel variants by integrating X-ray tubes, mobile C-arm platforms, and digital displays to enhance the convenience for the operator. Other factors, including rising healthcare expenditures of the individuals, along with significant improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, especially in developing nations, are anticipated to drive the market further.
