Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the most common three-dimensional (3D) imaging technique used in dentistry [...]

background: providing a cross-sectional image is essential for preimplant assessments. computed tomography (ct) and cone beam ct (cbct) images are very expensive and provide high radiation dose. tangential projection is a very simple, available, and low-dose technique that can be used in the anterior portion of mandible. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of tangential proje...

Evaluation of the Three Dimensional Localization Accuracy Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in Stereotactic Radiosurgery

PURPOSE We evaluated the performance of organ contour propagation from a planning computed tomography to cone-beam computed tomography with deformable image registration by comparing contours to manual contouring. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients were retrospectively identified based on showing considerable physical change throughout the course of treatment. Multiple organs in the 3 reg...

It has been a challenge to establish the accurate diagnosis of developmental tooth anomalies based on periapical radiographs. Recently, three-dimensional imaging by cone beam computed tomography has provided useful information to investigate the complex anatomy of and establish the proper management for tooth anomalies. The most severe variant of dens invaginatus, known as dilated odontome, is ...
