Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different cone beam CT scan parameters on trabecular bone microstructure measurements. A human mandibular cadaver was scanned using a cone beam CT (3D Accuitomo 170; J.Morita, Kyota, Japan). 20 cone beam CT images were obtained using 5 different fields of view (4×4 cm, 6×6 cm, 8×8 cm, 10×10 cm and 10×5 cm), 2 types of rotation steps (180° and 360°) and 2 scanning resolutions (standard and high). Image analysis software was used to assess the trabecular bone microstructural parameters (number, thickness and spacing). All parameters were measured twice by one trained observer. Intraclass correlation coefficients showed high intraobserver repeatability (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.95-0.97) in all parameters across all tested scan parameters. Trabecular bone microstructural measurements varied significantly, especially in smaller fields of view (p = 0.001). There was no significant difference in the trabecular parameters when using different resolutions (number, p = 0.988; thickness, p = 0.960; spacing, p = 0.831) and rotation steps (number, p = 1.000; thickness, p = 0.954; spacing, p = 0.759). The scan field of view significantly influences the trabecular bone microstructure measurements. Rotation steps (180° or 360°) and resolution (standard or high) selections are not relevant.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 October 2013.
All research outputs
#20,660,571
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from Dentomaxillofacial Radiology
#312
of 573 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#168,834
of 223,624 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Dentomaxillofacial Radiology
#8
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 573 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.5. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 223,624 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
