Groundbreaking Study Compares Radiation Doses of 3D Imaging Devices in Maxillofacial Surgery

Posted: December 8, 2024
This study compared the radiation doses of various 3D imaging devices used in maxillofacial surgery, highlighting differences in absorbed radiation and effective doses. The 3D C-arm devices showed significantly lower organ and effective doses compared to CT and CBCT scanners. Special adjustments in scan protocols can help CT achieve lower doses similar to CBCT. Intraoperative 3D C-arms are effective for verifying surgical results with minimal radiation exposure.
