Concrescence is a form of twinning, formed by the confluence of cementum of two teeth at the root level. The diagnosis of concrescence has largely relied on the conventional 2D imaging. The 2D imaging has inherent limitations such as distortion and superimposition. Cone-Beam CT eliminates these limitations. The aim of this article was to describe a case of dental abnormality using Cone-Beam CT ...

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of pituitary calcifications using cone beam computed tomography in a group of Turkish individuals. Material and methods: Cone beam computed tomography scans in the axial, coronal and sagittal planes of the pituitary gland of 284 patients were examined for evidence of pituitary calcification. Results: In the cone beam compute...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE For the first time, delivered dose to the rectum has been calculated and accumulated throughout the course of prostate radiotherapy using megavoltage computed tomography (MVCT) image guidance scans. Dosimetric parameters were linked with toxicity to test the hypothesis that delivered dose is a stronger predictor of toxicity than planned dose. MATERIAL AND METHODS Dose-s...

Radiographic imaging is essential in diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up in endodontics. The applications of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in endodontics has been widely reported in the literature.It provides high-quality, accurate threedimensional (3D) representations of the osseous elements of the maxillofacial skeleton. The purpose of this article is to discuss the features, a...

Recent advancements in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) have identified the importance of providing outcomes related to the appropriate use of this innovative technology in dentistry. To assist in determining whether evidence exists, the authors conducted a PubMed search in September, 2012 using the key words “cone beam in Dentistry.” This search revealed 1038 articles with 65 reviews recen...

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging modality that has high clinical applications in the field of dentistry. CBCT proved to be a successful investigative modality that has been used for dental and maxillofacial imaging. Radiation exposure dose from CBCT is 10 times less than from conventional CT scans during maxillofacial exposure. Furthermore, CBCT is highly accurate and...

statement of the problem: most of the soft tissue calcifications within the head and neck region might not be accompanied by clinical symptoms but may indicate some pathological conditions. purpose: the aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of soft tissue calcifications in cone beam computed tomography (cbct) images of mandibular region. materials and method: in this cross sectio...

Three dimensional computed tomography is a computationally intensive procedure, requiring large amounts of R A M and processing power. Parallel methods for two dimensional computed tomography have been studied, but not edended or applied to 3D cone beam tomography. A discussion on how the 3D cone beam tomography problem can be implemented in parallel using MPI is given. W e show an improvement ...
