Innovative Photon-Counting CT Enhances Forensic Dental Identification

Posted: January 1, 2025
The article highlights the use of effective atomic number (Zeff) images generated through photon-counting computed tomography to identify artificial dental materials. This innovation allows for the quantitative analysis of dental restorations, aiding in forensic dental identification. The study introduced a novel algorithm for Zeff analysis using PC-CT, showcasing accurate results compared to traditional imaging methods. The Zeff values serve as a crucial quantitative indicator for distinguishing dental materials, offering a new approach in forensic dentistry.
