background: cone beam computed tomography (cbct) is an alternative to a computed tomography (ct) scan, which is appropriate for a wide range of craniomaxillofacial indications. the long‑term use of metallic materials in dentistry means that artifacts caused by metallic restorations in the oral cavity should be taken into account when utilizing cbct and ct scanners. the aim of this study was to ...

background: a variable resolution x-ray (vrx) ct scanner provides a great increase in the spatial resolution. in vrx ct scanners, the spatial resolution of the system and its field of view (fov) can be changed according to the object size. one of the main factors that limit the spatial resolution of vrx ct scanner is the effect of the x-ray focal spot. materials and methods: a theoretical study...

A preliminary investigation into the efficacy of a new 3D dosimetry material, RadGel™, for verification of radiation therapy dose distributions is presented. Small volumes of RadGel™ were found to exhibit a linear, reproducible response to dose. A gradual increase in optical-density (OD) with time was observed, suggesting scanning should be completed within 18 hours to keep a linear correlation...
