Is cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) an alternative to plain radiography in assessments of dental disease? A study of method agreement in a medically compromised patient population
ConclusionsCBCT was an alternative to IO in diagnosing periapical lesions. Both modalities found the same healthy teeth in 93.8%. All modalities were performed equally regarding marginal bone level. In caries diagnosis, artifacts were the major cause of fallout for CBCT.Clinical relevanceIntraoral radiography is the first-hand choice for diagnosing dental disease. For some rare cases where intraoral imaging is not possible, a dedicated panoramic image and/or CBCT examination is an alternative. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

How AI can flag critical imaging results for priority review and treatments
This study demonstrates the ability of an FDA-cleared artificial intelligence (AI) decision support tool (e-ASPECTS) to improve the performance of US physicians when deriving the ASPECTS," according to the authors. The study called attention to the impact of AI software on physician performance in ASPECTS scoring. Agreement with a reference standard (expert consensus read with reference to follow-up imaging) was evaluated with and without software support.While the study was supported by Brainomix and had several limitations, consistent improvement was seen in both neurology and neuroradiology-qualified doctors, after a su...
