Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

7.7K
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...

Positron Emission Tomography

6.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging Physics
  • Dental Radiology
  • 3D Printing Technology

Background:

  • Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is increasingly used for dental and maxillofacial imaging.
  • Existing quality assurance (QA) phantoms for CBCT are often expensive, cumbersome, or lack essential testing features.
  • The need for cost-effective, optimized, and convenient CBCT QA tools is significant.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel, low-cost, custom-designed phantom for CBCT image quality assessment.
  • To assess the efficacy of the "Karu" Cone Beam CT Phantom in differentiating CBCT scanner performance.

Main Methods:

  • A custom phantom, the "Karu" Cone Beam CT Phantom, was designed and constructed using 3D-printed poly lactic acid (PLA).
  • The phantom incorporates inserts for testing geometric accuracy, Hounsfield Unit (HU) accuracy, low contrast detectability, spatial resolution, and uniformity/artifacts/noise.
  • The phantom was utilized to scan multiple CBCT systems to evaluate their image quality.

Main Results:

  • The "Karu" phantom successfully performed tests including geometric accuracy, HU accuracy, low contrast detectability, spatial resolution, and uniformity/artifacts/noise.
  • Scans demonstrated the phantom's capability to distinguish between CBCT scanners producing superior and inferior image quality.
  • The estimated production cost for the custom phantom is under NZ $2000.

Conclusions:

  • The "Karu" Cone Beam CT Phantom offers a viable, cost-effective solution for CBCT quality assurance.
  • This 3D-printed phantom provides a convenient and optimized tool for evaluating diverse CBCT system performance.
  • The developed phantom can aid in ensuring consistent and high-quality diagnostic imaging in dental and maxillofacial applications.
