Advanced Cone Beam CT Technology. CBCT scanners, on the other hand, are based on volumetric tomography, using a 2D extended digital array providing an area detector. This is combined with a 3D x-ray beam (Fig. 1b). The cone-beam technique involves a single 360Â° scan in which the x-ray source and a reciprocating area detector synchronously move around the patientâs head, which is stabilized with a head holder. At certain degree intervals, single projection images, known as âbasisâ images, are acquired.
The female cone (megastrobilus, seed cone, or ovulate cone) contains ovules which, when fertilized by pollen, become seeds. The female cone structure varies more markedly between the different conifer families, and is often crucial for the identification of many species of conifers.ale cones of a pine A classic example of a Lebanese Cedar cone. Immature female pine cone Pollen cone of a Japanese Larch Pineapple gall on Sitka Spruce caused by Adelges abietis. Dozens of male cones (orange and flower-like) occur in a cluster; the female cone is still immature (olive green).
