Abstract
Imaging is more central than ever in the diagnostic process and therapeutic decision-making.
Cone beam imaging is a low-radiation, fast and easy-to-perform technique. It can find its place in a radiology department, an emergency care facility, or a multidisciplinary healthcare establishment. This advantage allows for a wide territorial implementation.
Given the variety of imaging examinations, it is sometimes challenging for non-specialist physicians to choose the most appropriate imaging method. The question then arises of bringing imaging closer to specialists to optimize the relevance of care, reducing the number of examinations and making them more decisive.
In the context of traumatology, it provides superior precision compared to standard X-rays, reducing the need for CT scans. In the orthopedic surgeon's office, this imaging, performed under load, provides functional information that can alter the therapeutic strategy.
