Mandibular trabecular bone shows a promising attempt of accurate detection of osteoporotic changes in some regions of the jaws. Fractal analysis and pixel intensity had strong positive correlation.
Dental materials of high atomic number and density are widely used in dentistry and can produce artefact that compromise CBCT image. The present study demonstrated that metal artefact reduction algorithm is an effective tool to improve image quality.
Although CBCT provides better viewing of anatomical structures, including location, shape, and relationship with the surrounding area, panoramic radiography is a conventional imaging modality that can be used in the study of the bifid mandibular canals.
mAs did not influence the variability of CBCT voxel values; higher kVp reduced such variability when only the object was smaller than the field of view.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
