background and aims. cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) is an imaging system which has many advantages over computed tomography (ct). in ct scan, hounsfield unit (hu) is proportional to the degree of x-ray attenuation by the tissue. in cbct, the degree of x-ray attenuation is shown by gray scale (voxel value). the aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between gray scale...

Micro Computed Tomography (Micro CT) is an advanced imaging modality based on multi slice x ray images which allows three dimensional reconstructions of the viewed structures. This review highlights the significance of micro CT, its working principle and also throws light on its advantages and limitations over conventional 2D radiography as well as Cone beam Computed Tomography. This review als...

Vascular exploration of small animals requires imaging hardware with a very high spatial resolution, capable of differentiating large as well as small vessels, in both in vivo and ex vivo studies. Micro Computed Tomography (micro-CT) has emerged in recent years as the preferred modality for this purpose, providing high resolution 3D volumetric data suitable for analysis, quantification, validat...

statement of the problem in order to replace lost tooth of patients, we use dental implants which are common. therefore, accurate measuring of bone height and width before placing implants is necessary. the aim of this study is evaluating the accuracy of linear and spiral tomography in careful determination of implant site sizes in comparison with gold standard (cbct). material and methods this...

objectives: bone quality and quantity assessment is one of the most important steps in implant treatment planning. different methods such as computed tomography (ct) and recently suggested cone beam computed tomography (cbct) with lower radiation dose and less time and cost are used for bone density assessment. this in vitro study aimed to compare the tissue density values in hounsfield units (...
