Respiratory correlated cone beam CT.

A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner integrated with a linear accelerator is a powerful tool for image guided radiotherapy. Respiratory motion, however, induces artifacts in CBCT, while the respiratory correlated procedures, developed to reduce motion artifacts in axial and helical CT are not suitable for such CBCT scanners. We have developed an alternative respiratory correlated proc...

Artefacts in cone beam CT

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the modern third dimension applied in the field of oral maxillofacial region. With lower radiation dose compared to conventional CT, its applications in dentistry has increased tremendously. Artefacts can seriously degrade the quality of computed tomographic (CBCT) images, sometimes to the point of making them diagnostically unusable. To optimize image qu...

Medicolegal Issues Related to Cone Beam CT

The introduction of cone beam computed tomography into dentistry, and particularly into private offices, has raised a number of medicolegal issues. Among the issues raised are who may own and operate the machines, for what purposes should the machines be used, how broadly or narrowly should the field be collimated, does the full volume need to be interpreted and, if so, by whom? For images inte...
