💡 Why CBCT Reports Are Essential – and Why Images Alone Aren’t Enough
In many radiology centers, CBCT images are handed over without a diagnostic report. But here’s the truth: an image without interpretation is like a puzzle with no solution.
This article explains why professional reports are critical and how they benefit both the dentist and the patient:
📸 1. Images Alone Don’t Tell the Full Story
A CBCT scan contains a huge amount of data—but it takes a specialist to extract what really matters.
✅ A report provides:
- Precise location of the issue
- Nature of the lesion (cyst, tumor, abscess…)
- Its relation to nearby structures (nerve, sinuses…)
🦷 2. Reports Help Dentists Make Faster, Safer Decisions
A detailed report makes it easier for dentists to decide:
- Whether to treat or refer the case
- If surgery is needed
- What type of treatment is best
📑 3. Reports Reflect Your Center’s Professionalism
Clear, well-organized reports boost your center’s image and build trust with both patients and referring dentists.
✅ The result:
- More repeat business
- More referrals
- A stronger reputation
🧑⚕️ 4. Reports Offer Legal and Clinical Protection
A written diagnostic report provides a record of what was observed and recommended, which can be critical if questions arise later.
🤖 5. Remote Reporting = Fast Turnaround + High Quality
