Common Image Artifacts in Cone Beam CT

Conventional CT and cone beam CT for improved dental diagnostics and implant planning.

the highest success rates for any orthopedic medical restorative process. According to Scott D. Ganz, DMD, Maxillofacial Prosthodontist, these success rates perhaps explain one of the barriers to clinicians ordering more computed tomography (CT) scans for prospective implant patients. He explains, however, that “CT imaging can help clinicians improve all aspects of implant reconstruction, inclu...

Percutaneous Transthoracic Lung Biopsy: Comparison Between C-Arm Cone-Beam CT and Conventional CT Guidance

BACKGROUND C-arm cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a comparatively novel modality for guiding percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsies (PTLBs), and despite its potential advantages over conventional computed tomography (CCT), a head-to-head comparison of the two techniques has yet to be reported in the literature. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value and safety of CBCT-guided ...

A novel research platform for electromagnetic navigated bronchoscopy using cone beam CT imaging and an animal model.

Electromagnetic guided bronchoscopy is a new field of research, essential for the development of advanced investigation of the airways and lung tissue. Consecutive problem-based solutions and refinements are urgent requisites to achieve improvements. For that purpose, our intention is to build a complete research platform for electromagnetic guided bronchoscopy. The experimental interventional ...
