What does “5D” actually mean in CBCT?
It’s a fair question, and it comes up often.
3D CBCT shows anatomy.
5D CBCT helps you make clinical decisions.
With a 5D workflow, the scan is not just an image.
It becomes a planning tool.
You can evaluate bone and nerve position in true 3D, assess airway or TMJ function from the same scan, and plan implants or surgeries with measurable accuracy. All without taking multiple images.
In simple terms:
3D helps you see the problem.
5D helps you plan the solution.
RayScan 5D CBCT is designed to support everyday clinical decisions, not just generate images.
