Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to correct the errors that may occur because of the patients' movement during the CT scanning, and thus, to obtain more precise CT images, additionally to investigate the possible use of parallel Beam CT in the dental treatment.
Materials and Methods: Applying the Radon transform using phantom image, the same image and the sinogram with the ones by CT scanning were obtained. The possible movement errors that patients may cause during the CT scan were given to the data images. The maximum width of errors was designed to reach 1 mm. The fixed point was identified in the errored CT projected images, and each projected image with errors was adjusted so that each fixed point is placed on the same axial plane, then the fixed point was traced on the sinogram. On the traced trajectory of the fixed point, the part deviated from the sinusoidal curve was modified using the Virtual Alignment Method.
Results: The quality of reconstructed image was remarkably degraded when the movement errors were given. The movement errors were corrected by moving the fixed point to the center of sinogram and this relocation of fixed point did not cause any distortion of image or change of size.
Conclusion: The movement errors during CT scanning were corrected using the fixed point inside of the image. The more precise CT images obtained through this method are expected to be of extensive application in the area of dental implantology.
