“…Generally, the 3D accuracy of CT systems is influenced by varying underlying physical processes such as scatter, beam hardening, off-focal radiation, detector point spread function, and partial volume effects. 20 Various methods have been developed for standardization and optimization of 3D CT measurements, for example, matrix transformation in the 3D coordinate system 21 or use of a parametric boundary reconstruction algorithm. 20 With CT, a point density is generated that is not attained by other measurement technologies.…”
