Accuracy of craniofacial measurements: computed tomography and three-dimensional computed tomography compared with stereolithographic models.
In a retrospective study, distance measurements of nine children with craniofacial malformation were analyzed. The accuracy of measurements was compared when measured on a workstation using a 16-slice multidetector spiral computed tomography and on a stereolithographic model. Three different methods of defining distances were investigated: 1) on the stereolithographic plastic models, 14 distanc...
متن کاملDual-energy computed tomography with advanced postimage acquisition data processing: improved determination of urinary stone composition.
INTRODUCTION The characterization of urinary calculi using noninvasive methods has the potential to affect clinical management. CT remains the gold standard for diagnosis of urinary calculi, but has not reliably differentiated varying stone compositions. Dual-energy CT (DECT) has emerged as a technology to improve CT characterization of anatomic structures. This study aims to assess the ability...
متن کاملaccuracy of linear measurements using cone beam computed tomography in comparison with clinical measurements
objectives: this study sought to evaluate the accuracy and errors of linear measurements of mesiodistal dimensions of kennedy class iii edentulous space using cone beam computed tomography (cbct) in comparison with clinical measurements. materials and methods: nineteen kennedy class iii dental arches were evaluated. an impression was made of each dental arch and poured with dental stone. the di...
متن کاملEvaluation of Urinary Stone Composition and Differentiation between Urinary Stones and Phleboliths Using Single-source Dual-energy Computed Tomography.
The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of single-source dual-energy computed tomography (SS-DECT) composition analysis in characterizing different types of urinary stones and differentiating them from phleboliths. This study included 29 patients with urinary stones who were scheduled for surgery. All patients were scanned, first using single-energy computed tomography acquisition ...
متن کاملNondestructive analysis of urinary calculi using micro computed tomography
BACKGROUND Micro computed tomography (micro CT) has been shown to provide exceptionally high quality imaging of the fine structural detail within urinary calculi. We tested the idea that micro CT might also be used to identify the mineral composition of urinary stones non-destructively. METHODS Micro CT x-ray attenuation values were measured for mineral that was positively identified by infra...
