Effect of Variability of Current Intensity (Milliamperage) on the Gray Scale Values Driven From Cone Beam Computed Tomographic Images: An in-Vitro Study
Abstract:Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an imaging modality of great value in dental field thanks to its lower radiation and high spatial resolution compared to Computed Tomography (CT). However there is still some controversy of using CBCT in bone density assessment. That is why this study was conducted to assess the ability of the gray scale values driven from CBCT by different milliamperage (mA) settings to assess bone density. Methodology: Seventeen mandibles were included in this study. On e… Show more
