Zusammenfassung:Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become increasingly important as a low-radiation imaging technique with high resolution. The current new generation CBCT's aim to optimize the benefits of CBCT while limiting the traditional disadvantages with features such as a larger gantry, higher tube voltage and a moveable table. Very promising is the current development of dual energy CBCT for detecting bone marrow edema, a better soft tissue visualization and reduction of beam hardening artifact. implementation of iterative reconstructions and artificial intelligence in high-end CBCT is a potential tool in a further very substantial dose reduction. Keywords: CBCT, musculoskeletal imaging, dual energy, spatial resolution, radiation dose, image quality
