Introduction: Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is an imaging system which offers three-dimensional (3D), multiplanar images and has many advantages over computed tomography (CT) including shorter acquisition times for the resolution desired in dentistry, lower radiation dose to the patient, reasonable price and higher spatial resolution but CBCT scanners are unable to display actual Hounsf...

OBJECTIVES Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an innovative dental of imaging system characterized by rapid volumetric imaging with patient exposure to a single dose of radiation. The present study was carried out to compare the linear measurements obtained with CBCT and digital caliper in 20 mandibles from human cadavers. STUDY DESIGN A total of 4800 linear measurements were measured be...

introduction: this study aims at examining the difference of pharyngeal airways in patients with different occlusion postures, hoping to im prove diagnostic methods and provide a stable treatment plan for orthodontic patients. materials and methods: the data were ga-thered through cbct radiographies of patients from a specialized center for radiology. in each occlusion group according to the pe...

The use of Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in radiotherapy is increasing due to the widespread implementation of kilovoltage systems on the currently available linear accelerators. Cone beam CT acts as an effective Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) tool for the verification of patient position. It also opens up the possibility of real-time re-optimization of treatment plans for Adaptive Rad...

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT, also referred to as C-arm computed tomography [CT], cone beam volume CT, or flat panel CT) is a medical imaging technique of X-ray CT where the X-rays are divergent, forming a cone.[1] CBCT systems have been designed for imaging hard tissues of the maxillofacial region. CBCT is capable of providing sub-millimeter resolution in images of high diagnostic quali...

Purpose: Kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been developed to provide accurate soft-tissue and bony setup information. We evaluated clinical CBCT setup data and compared CBCT measurements with electronic portal imaging device (EPID) images. Material and Methods: The setup error for CBCT scans at the treatment unit relative to the planning CT was measured for 62 patients (524 s...

the presence of three root canals in the distal root of the mandibular fi rst permanent molars is rare; based on in vitro studies its incidence is reported to be between 0.2% and 3%. with the advent of cone beam computed tomography (cbct) as an adjunctive diagnostic aid, the determination of root canal anatomy in teeth with extra canals and complex canal confi gurations has become more precise....

Large field of view cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is being achieved using circular source and detector trajectories. These circular trajectories are known to collect insufficient data for accurate image reconstruction. Although various descriptions of the missing information exist, the manifestation of this lack of data in reconstructed images is generally nonintuitive. One model predict...

Leksell Gamma Knife® IconTM with integrated Cone Beam CT (CBCT) system provides increased workflow flexibility with e.g. planning on frameless images and subsequent frameless dose delivery. The stereotactic reference is given by the CBCT images taken prior to treatment. Co-registration of the planning image volume with the CBCT volume gives the transformation mapping of the planned isocenter po...
