| Abstract:
|
New algorithms for image processing and data analysis techniques have emerged in recent times, micro-computed tomography (µ-CT) is a unique imaging modality which empowers three dimensional structures rapidly and non-invasively at high spatial goal than those that are obtained by using cone beam computed tomography. This review article highlights the working principle, the accuracy of µ-CT over conventional CT and describes in detail the applications of µ-CT in dentistry. This review signifies the importance of µ-CT as essential diagnostic tools in multiple dental applications. Besides providing high resolution images within a short scan time, the instauration of scanned images permits evaluation of tooth without superimposition that congregates a lot of information making the novel technique a fortunate conception.
