چکیده
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an emerging medical imaging modality used for various clinical applications. However, radiation dose to patients is a major limiting factor for its utility in some applications such as daily patient setup and future adaptive therapy in radiotherapy. In this article, we summarize recent development for dose reduction in CBCT. In particular, we discuss several noise reduction strategies for low-dose CBCT with a low mAs proto-

Artifact reduction techniques in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging modality
Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and became more common based on its low cost, fast image procedure rate and low radiation dose compared to CT. This imaging modality improved diagnostic and treatment-planning procedures by providing three-dimensional information with greatly reduced level of radiation dose compared to 2D dental imaging modalitie...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Due to increasing use of X-rays in diagnosis and treatment of diseases, this study aimed to measure and compares the absorbed dose in a number of sensitive organs of head and neck in different radiographic techniques.METHODS: Thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) and a male equivalent RANDO phantom were used to measure the absorbed dose in organs. The dosimeters were set in cer...
متن کاملSuperior performance of cone beam tomography in detecting a calcaneus fracture
Cone beam computed tomography is a state-of-the-art imaging tool, initially developed for dental and maxillofacial application. With its high resolution and low radiation dose, cone beam tomography has been expanding its application fields, for example, to diagnosis of traumata and fractures in the head and neck area. In this study, we demonstrate superior and satisfactory performance of cone b...

متن کاملمقایسه دقت توموگرافی سهبعدی با اشعه مخروطی با توموگرافی کامپیوتری مرسوم در تشخیص بیماریهای سینوس پارانازال
Background: Paranasal sinus disease is one of the most common problems of patients that refer to ENT centers. Adding to clinical examination imaging plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment. Also the imaging of paranasal sinuses is necessary before surgery. Although computed tomography is the modality of choice for these areas, it has some disadvantages which the most important one is...
