Asked By:imalitel0st in Haleyville, AL

Planning to get a custom cheek implant but need an XRAY of my skull first. Thing is, every surgeon asks for a slightly different thing. CBCT, CT, 3DCT etc. I can't tell if they're all the same or not so I'd like your guys' input on what is the most preferred type of XRAY.
