چکیده

objectives: bone quality and quantity assessment is one of the most important steps in implant treatment planning. different methods such as computed tomography (ct) and recently suggested cone beam computed tomography (cbct) with lower radiation dose and less time and cost are used for bone density assessment. this in vitro study aimed to compare the tissue density values in hounsfield units (hus) in cbct and ct scans of different tissue phantoms with two different thicknesses, two different image acquisition settings and in three locations in the phantoms. materials and methods: four different tissue phantoms namely hard tissue, soft tissue, air and water were scanned by three different cbct and a ct system in two thicknesses (full and half) and two image acquisition settings (high and low kvp and ma). the images were analyzed at three sites (middle, periphery and intermediate) using efilm software. the difference in density values was analyzed by anova and correction coefficient test (p<0.05). results: there was a significant difference between density values in cbct and ct scans in most situations, and cbct values were not similar to ct values in any of the phantoms in different thicknesses and acquisition parameters or the three different sites. the correction coefficients confirmed the results. conclusions: cbct is not reliable for tissue density assessment. the results were not affected by changes in thickness, acquisition parameters or locations.

Correlation Between Tissue Densities in Computed Tomography and Three Different Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Units (In Vitro)

Background and Aim: Bone density is of great assistance in the selection of the proper implant site. The present study aimed to assess the correlation between tissue densities in computed tomography (CT) and three different cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) units. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, a radiographic phantom consisting of a transparent polymethyl methacrylate (PM...

Bone density: comparative evaluation of Hounsfield units in multislice and cone-beam computed tomography.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of the bone density value of potential implant sites in HU obtained by a specific cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) device. In this study, the HU values obtained using a MSCT scanner were used as the gold standard. Twenty mandibles (40 potential implant sites) were scanned using an MSCT scanner (Somatom Sensation 40) and a CBCT scanner (i-CA...

Comparison of Spiral Computed Tomography and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography

Imaging is a highly dependent technology in the clinical assessment of a patient. With respect to the dental field, imaging has travelled a long way from the conventional radiographs to modern techniques like the computed tomography (CT) and the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This article describes the evolution made in the CT in the field of dental imaging and attempts to compare the CT...

Radiological protection in computed tomography and cone beam computed tomography.

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has sustained interest in radiological protection in computed tomography (CT), and ICRP Publications 87 and 102 focused on the management of patient doses in CT and multi-detector CT (MDCT) respectively. ICRP forecasted and 'sounded the alarm' on increasing patient doses in CT, and recommended actions for manufacturers and users. On...

Assessment of Accessory Mental Foramen by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography

Introduction: Any foramen in the buccal surface of mandibular body that transfers mental nerve and vessels except mental foramen, is called Accessory Mental Foramen (AMF). The objective of this study was the determination of the AMF using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods:  this descriptive study was done on 180 CBCT projections which were selected by convenience samp...
