Assessment of subjective image quality, contrast to noise ratio and modulation transfer function in the middle ear using a novel full body cone beam computed tomography device
Abstract:Background
Multi slice computed tomography (MSCT) is the most common used method in middle ear imaging. However, MSCT lacks the ability to distinguish the ossicular chain microstructures in detail resulting in poorer diagnostic outcomes. Novel cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) devices’ image resolution is, on the other hand, better than MSCT resolution. The aim of this study was to optimize imaging parameters of a novel full body CBCT device to obtain optimal contrast to noise ratio (CNR) wi… Show more
