About CBCTScope

CBCTScope is a complete, local-first CBCT and 2D radiograph viewer, built by Reza Motaghi, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist.

It reads cone-beam CT volumes in eight reading modes: MPR with 3D rendering, multi-slice grid, curved panoramic with nerve tracing, TMJ, freehand reslice, virtual cephalogram, region growing with airway analysis, and two-volume stitching. It reads 2D radiographs (panoramic, intraoral, CR and DX) in the same instrument, under the same display settings. It is free and open source, with no account and no upload.

CBCTScope visualizes and navigates images and produces no findings or diagnoses. It is research software, not a medical device. An optional agent can move its camera on request, under one rule: the agent moves the camera and never produces findings; the human reads.

Who made it

CBCTScope is made by Dr. Reza Motaghi, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist, who reads with it. He reads oral and maxillofacial imaging every day and also develops, evaluates and trains imaging AI. He is the creator of Radigrade, a registered protocol for grading AI-written radiograph reports. ORCID: 0009-0005-3194-1879.
