When using intraoperative 3D imaging with the cone beam CT technique for pelvic injury, image acquisition in low-dose mode is adequate in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and image quality. The image quality does not correlate linearly with a higher radiation dosage. Therefore, the pelvic trauma surgeon using this technique is encouraged to gather his own experience with low dose modes thereby reducing patient radiation exposure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
