Lecture
Topic : CBCT Imaging-What to Watch out For?
Synopsis :
The use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for dental imaging procedures has increased dramatically in recent years. Although this technology is very similar to medical CT imaging, the equipment cost is much lower, has simpler image acquisition and lower patient radiation dose. Nowadays the clinician must now assume a more dynamic role during its purchase, application process and image evaluations. It is gainfully used for diagnosis and treatment procedures and this is possible because you can perform orthogonal, oblique or planar images with 3-dimensional volume rendering. Moreover in selected situations you can perform maximum intensity projections (MIP) to assist in augmenting your image interpretations. It is therefore important that potential users can be better informed with regards to detectors, field-of-view (FOV), voxel size, image manipulations allowed and most importantly the image limitations due to artefacts. Certain factors can be considered to reduce or avoid the effects of these artefacts.
