Intraoperative imaging of the facial skeleton using a mobile CBCT system
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been introduced with the NewTom 9000 (NIM s.r.l., Verona, Italy) in preoperative dental imaging and gained increasingly acceptance. The Siremobil Iso-C3D (Siemens Medical Solutions, Erlangen, Germany), a mobile C-arm image amplifier for 3D imaging, is also based on CBCT. It was primarily developed for intraoperative application involving the axial and appendicular skeleton and has not been clinically used in the facial skeleton. After having demonstrated radiation exposures of several imaging modalities and performed preclinical studies, the application of the Siremobil Iso-C3D was extended to intraopertaive imaging of the facial skeleton. Therefore, we want now to show the results of intraoperative three dimensional imaging of the facial skeleton using this mobile CBCT system.

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...

OBJECTIVES Radiation doses were determined to balance risks against usefulness of the different modalities available for the imaging of the facial skeleton. METHODS An Alderson Rando Phantom, armed with lithium fluoride thermoluminescent dosemeters (TLDs) was exposed using a set of four conventional radiographs (orbital view, modified Waters view, orthopantomography, skull posterior--anterior...
