Accuracy of linear measurements obtained from stitched cone beam computed tomography images versus direct skull measurements

Activity Title	Accuracy of linear measurements obtained from stitched cone beam computed tomography images versus direct skull measurements
Details	The use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) machines in dentistry started in the second half of the 1990s. In the field of orthodontics, analysis of cephalometric radiographs requires accurate identification of specific landmarks for precise measurements between these landmarks. In order to compensate for this shortcoming, small FOV images can be scanned and then fused together to produce a single large FOV image. However, there are few data to show whether this fused image is as precise as a single image of the whole area of interest. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of stitched CBCT linear measurements versus direct measurements on skulls. Objectives Course Objective : To assess whether the linear measurements obtained from stitched cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were as accurate as the direct skull measurements.. : Nine dry human skulls were marked with gutta-percha at reference points to obtain Twenty-two linear measurements on each skull. Ten measurements in the cranio-caudal plane, two measurements in the antero-posterior plane, and ten measurements in the medio-lateral plane. CBCT linear measurements obtained using stitching software were measured and compared with direct skull measurements.. :
