Area of Science:

  • Dental Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Conventional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has limitations in accuracy.
  • Multisource CBCT (ms-CBCT) technology aims to overcome these limitations.
  • Accurate bone mineral density (BMD) assessment is crucial for maxillofacial applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy of ms-CBCT for measuring mandibular and maxillary bone mineral density (BMD).
  • To compare the accuracy of ms-CBCT with conventional CBCT against multi-detector CT (MDCT) as a reference standard.

Main Methods:

  • Anthropomorphic skull and head phantoms with calibration inserts were imaged using ms-CBCT, conventional CBCT, and MDCT.
  • Cortical and cancellous bone regions of the mandible and maxilla were segmented.
  • CT Hounsfield Units (HU) and Greyscale Values (GV) were converted to BMD using calibration functions and compared to MDCT.

Main Results:

  • Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in agreement between ms-CBCT and MDCT compared to conventional CBCT and MDCT.
  • ms-CBCT demonstrated higher accuracy in BMD measurements of the mandible and maxilla.

Conclusions:

  • ms-CBCT provides a more accurate method for assessing jawbone mineral density than conventional CBCT.
  • This improved accuracy holds significant potential for enhanced diagnostic capabilities in dentistry and oral surgery.
