Accuracy Of Linear Measurement In Computed Tomography: A Systematic Review
Keywords:
computerized tomography; multiplanar reconstructions.Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify, from a systematic review of the literature, whether two-dimensional images (2D) generated by computed tomography (CT) and processed by multiplanar reformatting software are accurate for planning dental treatments. Methods: We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Medline, Science Direct and VHL. It was included the articles that met the selection criteria: evaluation of CT scan of the skull using reformatting 2D images; articles published from and including 2008, studies with human skull; linear measurements between reference points, results obtained by comparing direct measurements (gold standard in skull) to virtual taking.
