Retrospective study assesses incidental findings in cone beam computed tomography scans, highlighting significant prevalence.
The current retrospective study was intended to assess the prevalence, type and location of incidental findings on CBCT images taken for various dental diagnostic desired outcomes. The scans were taken using the CS 8100 3D Select scanner with fixed parameters (60-90 kV, 2- 15 mA and exposure time 07-15 seconds). The maximum field of view (FOV) was 8 x 9cm, with a grey scale of 16384-14 bits. The archived retrospective CBCT scanned images chosen for the study were classified according to gender. Out of the 342 CBCT scans evaluated, a remarkable 300 (90.7%) indicated a total of 631 incidental results that were unrelated to the primary reason for the CBCT scan.
