Cone Beam CT - Basics II Flashcards
How many basis images does the CBCT capture?
range of 100 to 600 basis images per rotational scan
What are the types of image software that can be used to manage volumetric data sets?
a. proprietary (property of a vendor)
b. universal – DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine)
What is a volumetric data set?
the package of images constructed by an imaging software program which then displays various image reconstructions
What is DICOM?
- standard information transfer method (file format) for transferring images and associated information between devices manufactured by various vendors
- Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine
What is HIPAA?
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
Multiple third-party software available for imaging DICOM Compatible CBCT volumetric data such as…

- OsiriX DICOM viewer
What is the most widely used DICOM viewer?
OsiriX DICOM Viewer
What are the features of the OsiriX DICOM Viewer?
- most widely used DICOM viewer because of global recognition and longevity
- One of first to fully support the DICOM standard for easy integration
Non-DICOM Compatible 3D software include…
*Materialise SurgiCase CMF

*Morita – i-Dixel
Only ________ projection data files are transferred to and stored in the UMKC SOD MiPACS server
DICOM
Proprietary (Native) files are stored in the…
capture CPU or its server
Why are multiple forms of datasets a problem?
- Image transfer is not as simple as transferring one or a series of intraoral images
- One transfers an entire data set so the user may access the image files to construct the selected images needed. The images needed will vary between different practitioners.
_______ image reconstruction capacity dwarfs the ranges of intraoral, panoramic and skull images
CBCT
____ image reconstructions are not typically stored and transferred
2D
Entire volumetric data sets are transferred so practitioners…
– are not limited to a limited number of reconstructions
– can determine their own preferred range of images needed for their diagnostic and treatment needs
