Editor’s summary The voxel size, the smallest unit of a ConeBeam Computed Tomography (CBCT) image, is related to the definition of tomographic image. The question raised by the authors of this study is whether voxel size can affect radiation dose during CT scanning.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Different Resolutions of Cone Beam Computed Tomography Imaging System for Detection of Vertical Root Fractures In Presence of Casting Posts
Objective: The diagnosis of vertical root fracture (VRF) in endodontically treated teeth is a clinical challenge due to lack of specific clinical and radiographic signs. Although radiographic evaluation such as CBCT is helpful, intracanal posts can produce artifacts and may impair the quality of CBCT scans. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of different resolutions of CBCT i...
متن کاملArtifact 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...
متن کاملIn vitro comparison of cone beam computed tomography with different voxel sizes for detection of simulated external root resorption.
The present study compared the efficacy of cone beam computed tomography using different voxel sizes in the diagnosis of simulated external root resorption. The presence or absence of simulated defects on buccal, mesial and distal root surfaces of 20 premolars was evaluated. The defects were small (0.26 mm in diameter and 0.08 mm deep), medium (0.62 mm in diameter and 0.19 mm deep) and large (1...
متن کاملContrast-to-noise ratio difference in small field of view cone beam computed tomography machines.
Each of three cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) machines offer a small field of view (FOV); Promax, Accuitomo 3D, and Kodak 9000. The objectives were to determine, when using a small FOV, the difference in contrast-to-noise ratios (CNR) of images obtained from different machines and different scan settings within each machine. A phantom made of a dry mandible with an epoxy resin based substi...
متن کاملEffect of Slice Thickness on the Accuracy of Linear Measurements Made on Cone Beam Computed Tomography Images (InVitro
Objective: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is applied for the imaging of the maxillofacial and dental structures, particularly for surgical treatments and dental implants. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of slice thickness on the accuracy of CBCT linear measurements. Methods: In this diagnostic accuracy study, forty-two titanium pins with the same dimensions were inserted...
