Dosimetry and image quality of four dental cone beam computed tomography scanners compared with multislice computed tomography scanners

Abstract: CBCT scanners provide adequate image quality for dentomaxillofacial examinations while delivering considerably smaller effective doses to the patient. Large variations in patient dose and image quality emphasize the importance of optimizing imaging parameters in both CBCT and MSCT examinations.

“…To date, most studies concerning effective dose assessment have used thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) in combination with anthropomorphic phantoms 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 . The low‐dose limit of TLDs when using single exposure (0.3 mGy) 8 , 9 has been considered adequate in most applications and has, therefore, been used as the reference low‐dose limit in MOSFET uncertainty assessment in this study.…”

“…6 Compared with the multislice computerized tomography, CBCT is less expensive, is more accessible, and offers a lower dose of radiation. 7,8 Furthermore, CBCT measurements are not significantly influenced by variation in skull orientation or head position during image acquisition. 9,10 The challenge for clinicians is to understand and interpret 3D imaging.…”

“…25 Atualmente, a TCFC tem sido amplamente utilizada por cirurgiões-dentistas para avaliar os seios paranasais. 26,27 A TCFC oferece uma baixa dose de radiação quando comparada a tomografia médica, menor tempo de aquisição e melhor resolução da imagem, 28 permitindo ao clínico avaliar a relação entre alterações e/ou infecções dentárias com defeitos no assoalho do seio e qualquer alteração presente nos seios maxilares, em múltiplos planos.…”
