Comparison of the accuracy of voxel based registration and surface based registration for 3D assessment of surgical change following orthognathic surgery [PDF]
Purpose: Superimposition of two dimensional preoperative and postoperative facial images, including radiographs and photographs, are used to evaluate the surgical changes after orthognathic surgery.

Non-rigid CT/CBCT to CBCT registration for online external beam radiotherapy guidance [PDF]
Image-guided external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) allows radiation dose deposition with a high degree of accuracy and precision. Guidance is usually achieved by estimating the displacements, via image registration, between cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and computed tomography (CT) images acquired at different stages of the therapy.

Crestal approach for repair of oroantral bone defects and subsequent implant placement
Abstract Background Oroantral communication (OAC) can occur after a dental extraction. Occasionally, bony defects may persist despite successful soft tissue closure of the OAC. The absence of bone in these areas poses challenges for dental implant placement.

Optimizing dual energy cone beam CT protocols for preclinical imaging and radiation research [PDF]
Objective: The aim of this work was to investigate whether quantitative dual-energy CT (DECT) imaging is feasible for small animal irradiators with an integrated cone-beam CT (CBCT) system.

Guided transpositional bone blocks in esthetic zone: Surgical technique and case report
Abstract Background The ultimate objective of implant dentistry is to position the implant in a three‐dimensional, prosthetic‐driven location. This case highlights a guided approach for harvesting and positioning an autogenous bone block to restore a horizontal bone defect in the anterior maxilla.

A Methodology for Three-Dimensional Quantification of Anterior Tooth Width [PDF]
The use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology has been shown to be more accurate in measuring individual incisor tooth widths than the use of wax exemplars. There were fewer differences by investigators using CBCT than others using an F-test

The Birmingham Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) project : developments towards selective internal particle therapy [PDF]
This paper will review progress on two aspects of the Birmingham BNCT project. Firstly on evaluation of the effects of high and low LET radiations when delivered simultaneously, and secondly on attempts to optimise delivery of the boron carrier compound ...

Reliability of CBCT in the diagnosis of dental asymmetry [PDF]
Objective: The aim of this study was to validate a method used to assess dental asymmetry, in relation to the skeletal midline, by means of CBCT. Methods: Ten patients who had CBCT scans taken were randomly selected for this study. Five different observers repeated 10 landmarks (x, y and z variables for each) and 12 linear measurements within 10 ...

Preservation therapy for vertically fractured teeth with periodontal tissue regeneration using FGF‐2
Abstract Background Vertically fractured teeth often have a poor prognosis, and extraction is considered the most predictable treatment. Conventional management has consisted of preservation therapy involving extraction, bonding, root restoration, and replantation of fractured teeth.
