2020年12月16日 · This is especially true in CBCT machines that use a technique to “stitch” two separate yet sequential CBCT volumes together to acquire a larger FOV. Since we are taking such a large FOV, often on pediatric patients, the staff taking the CBCT needs to be appropriately trained to minimize the need to retake the volume and thus

Medium FOV CBCT typically captures an 8 x 8 cm scan or similar for single or dual arch applications, and is the most common CBCT size based on its versatility. These systems are often the best choice for most general dentists, are ideal for surgical guides, viewing impacted teeth, and other applications requiring one or more full dental arches.

Most CBCT systems have multiple pre-defined field-of-view (FOV) sizes, so a collimator will have several pre-defined openings according to the FOV sizes. On the other hand, a few CBCT machines have freely adjustable collimation along the z direction, allowing for FOVs of any height.

There are different voxel sizes depending on the capabilities of each unit. The small field of view units may use a small voxel size of 0.076 mm, which enables visualization of very small changes to structures. Other voxel sizes available for CBCT units …

Studies comparing the influence of using two or more voxel sizes on CBCT-based diagnostic outcome qualified for inclusion. Only studies in which information regarding (1) image acquisition, (2) reconstruction protocols, (3) type of diagnostic task, and (4) presence of a gold standard for the true state of disease were selected.

Smaller voxel sizes and smaller CBCT FOV has the highest sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy for detecting various periodontal defects among the scanner modalities examined. Adequate evaluation of the condition of the alveolar bone and periodontal tissues is important for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of periodontal disease.

2016年10月5日 · The voxel size depends on the size of the detector pixels, which in current CBCT systems ranges from 0.07 to 0.4 mm. In general, a CBCT scan acquired with a smaller pixel size produces an image with higher spatial resolution. Nevertheless, the detector pixel size is not the only determinant of image resolution.

2021年8月1日 · Dental CBCT forms a continuously developing field of CT with diverse scanner models. The main strength of dental CBCT is high resolution, low cost, and easy installation. FOV size according to indication is the most essential optimisation parameter. Diagnostic reference levels are appearing in dental CBCT to reinforce optimisation.

2021年12月29日 · Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is widely used for preoperative 3D imaging of lower third molars. Hence, for this imaging indication, the present study aimed to define the minimum field-of-view (FOV) size and its optimum placement, to decrease radiation exposure, and highlight the need of computer-assisted FOV centering technique for ...

2015年1月12日 · Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) It is also referred to as digital volume tomography or cone beam volumetric imaging. As described later, the size of the volume or field of view (FOV) of the maxillofacial skeleton imaged varies; as a result CBCT scans are often described by their field of view :
