چکیده

Computed tomography (CT) of the temporal bone is used routinely in otology clinics. The development of multi-slice helical CT (MSCT) has improved the quality of images of the temporal bone and enhanced diagnostic competence significantly . However, MSCT images of minute bony structures in the temporal bone are not always clear enough to allow an accurate diagnosis and images of metal implants are affected by inevitable noise contamination. From a safety standpoint, radiation to the cornea must not be ignored.

Evaluation of the quality of CT-like images obtained using a commercial flat panel detector system

PURPOSE The development of flat panel detector technology has resulted in renewed interest in the possibility of generating CT-like images from rotational angiographic acquisitions. At least two commercial products now use cone beam reconstruction software in conjunction with flat panel detectors to produce such images. The purpose of the work presented here is to report on image quality obtain...

Experimental flat-panel high-spatial-resolution volume CT of the temporal bone.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A CT scanner employing a digital flat-panel detector is capable of very high spatial resolution as compared with a multi-section CT (MSCT) scanner. Our purpose was to determine how well a prototypical volume CT (VCT) scanner with a flat-panel detector system defines fine structures in temporal bone. METHODS Four partially manipulated temporal-bone specimens were imaged ...

Evaluation of the gray level in CBCT systems and its relationship with HU in CT Scanners

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...

Beam Attenuation Grid–Based Scatter Correction Algorithm for Cone Beam Volume CT

In the flat panel detector-based cone beam CT system, the scatter photons which reach the flat panel detector increase the detected signal, produce the image cupping artifact and reduce the image contrast. To conquer the X-Ray scatter problem, this study proposes the beam attenuation grid -based scatter correction algorithm that needs to add a beam attenuation grid (BAG) between the X-Ray sourc...

Cone Beam CT Evaluation of the Bony Changes in the Temporomandibular Joint and the Association with the Clinical Symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Introduction: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are among the most prevalent abnormalities of the jaw, which affect the masticatory system, including the muscles, TMJ, and tendons. Clinical examination alone cannot determine the cause of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). In most cases, the cause of TMD and a proper treatment plan are determined based on imaging modalities. The present stu...
