Exam 26: Three-Dimensional Digital Imaging

Viewing software allows the practitioner to select the region of interest and to scroll through these images on a computer monitor to create three-dimensional information that will assist in ____.

Metallic restorations may eliminate or hide the surrounding anatomy with the appearance of:

Cone-beam data is said to have a 1:1 relationship with the anatomy. This means that:

The purpose of three-dimensional imaging includes which of the following?

The universal format for handling, storing, and transmitting three-dimensional images is called:

Common uses of three-dimensional imaging include which of the following? 1) Implant placement 2) Extraction or exposure of impacted teeth 3) Definition of anatomic structures 4) Airway and sinus analysis 5) Evaluation of temporomandibular joint disorders

Prior to CBCT, patient preparations include:

The information that the receptor receives is termed the:

In the past, three-dimensional imaging was performed primarily with ____. Today, manufacturers of cone beam computer tomography have developed three-dimensional imaging specifically to evaluate the ____.

According to the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, who may perform CBCT and implant imaging?

One of the advantages of using DICOM Data is that images among dental professionals, imaging centers, and physicians may be shared. The volume of data produced is similar to medical computed tomography but CBCT uses more radiation to acquire the images.

The specialty of oral and maxillofacial radiology was recognized in 1999 by the:

Failure of the dental practitioner to evaluate, interpret, and document observations outside the region of dental interest could result in negative consequences for the patient. It is not the responsibility of the dental practitioner to recognize findings and pathology outside the region of dental interest.

Radiation is stopped and may not reach the receptor when it interacts with an area of high attenuation, such as:

The acronym, DICOM, stands for:

When viewed together, the axial, coronal, and sagittal images are referred to as:

If the field of view is large, findings or pathology in other regions of the oral and maxillofacial complex may be accidently included. The size of the field of view should not matter if a high-quality machine is used.

The number of gray scale colors available to be chosen for each pixel in the image is called:

Factors that can be altered when scanning the patient include:

The reconstruction of raw data into images when imported into viewing software to create three anatomical planes of the body is called:
