摘要
Objective: Measurements of bone density in designed sites are important in presurgical imaging for dental implant treatment. However, the pixel or voxel values obtained from cone-beam computed tomography (CT) images are not absolute values. Hence, the relationship between voxel values obtained from cone-beam CT with a limited-volume exposure field and a flat panel detector and bone mineral densities (BMDs) obtained from multislice CT was evaluated in the mandible. Material and methods: A total of 16 (four males and 12 females) patients who had undergone imaging for mandibular dental implant treatment using cone-beam CT with Alphard VEGA and multislice CT were enrolled in this investigation. Cross-sectional images of cone-beam and multislice CT were reconstructed, and values of regions of interest (ROIs) in images were calculated. Results: A high-level correlation between voxel values of cone-beam CT and BMDs of multislice CT was observed (r=0.965). Conclusion: It was suggested that voxel values of mandibular cancellous bone in cone-beam CT could be used to estimate bone density.
