The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the image quality of the small field of view (FOV) CBCT with different rotation arcs and scanning speeds in the use of detecting root canals. Methods: A dentate human skull was scanned in Morita 3D Accuitomo 170 with 4 × 4 cm FOV under 5 mA and 90 kVp. Two different rotation arcs (360° and 180°) and three different scanning modes (slow-speed mode, standard mode and high-speed mode) combined into six different groups. Five different levels of axial sections were selected from each group. Five endodontic specialists rated the image quality by focusing on the sharpness of the MB2 canal of the upper right first molar and the surrounding structures. Results: Despite the rotation arcs, all the observers gave excellent ratings to images taken with slow-speed mode. The high-speed mode taken with 360° and 180° got the second lowest and the lowest ratings, respectively. Under the same scanning speed, the rotation arc did not have a significant difference in image quality. Conclusion: Slow-speed mode is inevitable in maintaining adequate image quality during taking CBCT. However, endodontists can use the half rotation mode to significantly reduce radiation dose, exposure time, and still maintain sufficient image quality for root canal anatomy assessment. |
