Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...

Summary

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) shows potential for veterinary dental imaging in pets. However, current image quality is moderate and requires further research for optimal diagnostic use in dogs and cats.

Veterinary Radiology
Dental Imaging
Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Background:

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a widely used dental imaging technique in human medicine.
Its application in veterinary dentistry is emerging but requires evaluation for feasibility and diagnostic quality.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the feasibility of using human dental CBCT technology for diagnostic imaging in dogs and cats.
To evaluate the image quality and diagnostic potential of CBCT in veterinary dental applications.

Main Methods:

CBCT scans were performed on the heads of six dogs and two cats.
Dental panoramic and multi-planar reformatted (MPR) para-sagittal reconstructions were generated.
Image quality and anatomical landmark visibility were subjectively assessed by two observers.

Main Results:

Good image quality was achieved with MPR para-sagittal reconstructions, useful for visualizing multiple teeth.
Panoramic reconstructions in dogs showed moderate image quality, while those in cats were poor due to increased noise.
Segmental panoramic reconstructions demonstrated utility for studying canine dental anatomy.

Conclusions:

CBCT technology shows promise for veterinary dental diagnostics in companion animals.
Current image quality, particularly for panoramic views, is suboptimal compared to traditional 2D dental radiographs.
Further research is needed to optimize CBCT scanning and reconstruction protocols for veterinary use.
