Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Oral Cancer: A Review of Bone Invasion Radiomics, and Artificial Intelligence
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is prevalent in maxillofacial imaging due to its high-resolution bone detail and quick, chairside operation that generally exceeds conventional CT in radiation dose efficiency. However, recent clinical claims about its effectiveness in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are not fully supported by physics. Current verified literature (up to June 2026) clarifies that CBCT should be reserved for secondary purposes like bone invasion evaluation, surgical planning, and radiotherapy, …
