Evaluation of motion artifacts in cone-beam computed tomography with three different patient positioning

ConclusionsPatient position is not related to MAs presence. The age of the patient is a factor in movement, and has a high impact in standing position. Although insignificant, MAs were less common in supine position than sitting and standing positions. Sitting and supine positioning might reduce motion artifacts in older patients.
