Q

Why are multiple forms of datasets a problem?

A
  • 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.

Q

Entire volumetric data sets are transferred so practitioners…

A

– are not limited to a limited number of reconstructions
– can determine their own preferred range of images needed for their diagnostic and treatment needs

Q

How do multiple forms of datasets inhibit access to health care?

A
  • limiting the access to the patient’s information
  • increasing cost of treatment
  • delaying time of treatment
17
Q

What are the types of inherent artifacts in CBCT?

A
  • Beam Hardening
  • Streaking
18
Q

What is beam hardening?

A
  • a reconstruction artifact in CT due to the total absorption of low energy photons by metal objects
  • high energy photons in the heterogenous x-ray beam will create a signal in tissues adjacent the metal structure in the backprojection algorithm and these areas will be “burned out” thus creating dark areas
19
Q

Effect of beam hardening simulating peri-implantitis and alveolar bone defects in the _________ and _________ reconstructions.

A

cross-sectional and parasagittal

20
Q

What is a streak artifact?

A

streak artifact creates the outline of a “ghost” implant (as well as other radiopaque streak outlines) in the cross sectional reconstruction

21
Q

The _________ artifact makes it more
difficult to discern the validity of the cortical bone outlines.

A

streak

22
Q

How does a streak artifact form?

A
  • X-rays are heavily attenuated after passing through metal objects which results in very weak signals reaching the detector
  • metal shadows in the raw projection data will then introduce streak artifact in the backprojection algorithm reconstructions which introduces the metal streak artifact primarily in low density (soft tissue) structures
23
Q

What is wrong with this image?

A

beam hardening

24
Q

What is wrong with this image?

A

streak artifact

25
Q

What is MPR?

A

multi-planar reconstruction

26
Q

What is 2D panoramic reconstruction?

A

● Imaging software packages can reconstruct panoramic
images from the storage data
● CBCT scan is not indicated solely for panoramic imaging

27
Q

What are the different applications of CBCT image reconstruction?

A
  • MPR
  • Panoramic
  • Volume rendering (3D)
  • TMJ
  • Implant Planning
