“…To capture the same FOV in a medical CT scan, in which the beam is fan shaped, the patient has to be scanned in a linear translation movement (Angelopoulos et al, 2012). CBCT provides values that allow visualisation and differentiation between air, water, and soft tissue to a limited extent (Yamashina et al, 2008).…”

“…A escolha do aparelho de tomografia computadorizada cone beam, para a predeterminação da área apical dos canais radiculares no comprimento de trabalho, em detrimento a outros utilizados no diagnóstico médico, foi baseada em características vantajosas como: baixa dose de radiação, tempo reduzido para a realização dos exames, alta resolução e possibilidade da realização do exame com o paciente sentado (YAMASHINA et al, 2008), diminuindo a incidência de artefatos pela movimentação do paciente (PATEL et al, 2009).…”

“…During this time the total radiation depends on the kV and mA values used [52,53,72], as specified in Table II. Concerning the differences of resolution between conventional CT and dental CBCT, the dental CBCT has a better geometrical resolution than that of the conventional CT [15,46,49,50,67,71]. This is the result of the different voxel sizes used in the two techniques.…”

The WARM operation mode represents that the CBCT machine was switched on for at least two hours before the scan but no detector calibration was performed. WARM+C WARM+C scan protocol is consistent with the cone beam computed tomography scan with the complete calibration sequence after the warming-up period. The two-hour warming-up period preceded the calibration process. WUP warming-up period 2D 2 dimensional 3D 3 dimensional iv Galen's principal interest was in human anatomy but, from about 150 BC [2], Roman law had prohibited the dissection of human cadavers. Because of this restriction, Galen performed anatomical dissections on living (vivisection) and dead animals, mostly focusing on pigs and primates [3]. This work was useful because the anatomical structures of these animals usually closely mirror those of humans. Galen clarified the anatomy of the trachea, and was the first to demonstrate that the larynx generates the voice [4,5]. In one experiment, Galen used bellows to inflate the lungs of a dead animal. In his work De motu musculorum, Galen explained the difference between motor and sensory nerves, discussed the concept of muscle tone, and explained the difference between agonists and antagonists [5,6].Andreas Vesalius ( This environment, which lasted from the second century (Galenius) to the sixteenth century (Vesalius), developed a strong desire to have the ability to see inside the human body [7]. Development of medical imagingDuring many centuries the only way to visualize the inside of the human body was through dissection. With technical development, scientists had started to investigate the inside of the human body without its opening. In 1881, Alexander Graham Bell attempted to use magnets and sound waves to discover the location of the bullet that eventually killed U.S.President James A. Garfield [8].After a lengthy period, during scientific experiments with various types of vacuum tube equipment, the discovery of X-rays in 1895, by the Bavarian physicist Conrad Röntgen, represented a major breakthrough (Figure 3 A). When X-rays were finally discovered, they found their way to medical applications within months [9]. B C A 3The original discovery by Röntgen, at the Physical Institute, Julius-Maximilian University, Würzburg, Germany, is recorded to be on 8 November 1895 [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. During the discovery, he speculated that a new kind of ray might be responsible for the observation.Since 8 th November was a Friday, instead of relaxing over the weekend, Röntgen took advantage of the time to repeat his experiments. In the following weeks he investigated many properties of the new rays he had temporarily termed 'X-ray'. In fact, he virtually lived in his laboratory during that time. The new X-ray is called the 'Röntgen ray' in many languages [18]. Nearly two weeks after his discovery, he took the very first picture using X-rays of his wife Anna Bertha's hand. When she saw her skeleton she exclaimed 'I have seen my death!' (Figure 3 B and C) [10,18]. Röntgen receive the fir...

The reliability of computed tomography (CT) values and dimensional measurements of the oropharyngeal region using cone beam CT: comparison with multidetector CT

Abstract: The phantom study showed that CBCT provides limited quantitative CT values for each pixel on sliced images for differentiating air, water and soft tissues. However, the measurement of air spaces with CBCT was quite accurate.
