Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an increasingly popular imaging technique for dental clinics, widely used for pre-operative planning and observation. Its popularity stems from:
- Low-cost imaging
- Compact, flexible design, easy mobility and maintenance
Despite these advantages, CBCT systems have a significant limitation:
- The small field of view (FOV) due to the restricted circular source-detector movement
This limitation results in insufficient planning data for treatment experts.
Fig 1: A typical small CBCT unit and the small FOV of reconstructed images
Current solutions and their challenges:
- Using a larger detector: Advantage: Expands the FOV Challenge: Increases imaging costs, as larger detectors are expensive
- Shifted detector scan: Advantage: Allows for a wider scan range Challenge: Introduces technical difficulties, requiring device modifications during scanning
Our proposed solution:
- A novel fusion source-detector trajectory that goes beyond the standard circular trajectory and can significantly increase the FOV
- The proposed novel trajectory integrates principles from two distinct scanning techniques
This work is based on our recently published research [1].
