μCT Data
“Conventional analytical methods may employ reassembly techniques (Bramante et al. 1987) which evaluate cross-sections of root canals before and after preparation (Deplazes et al. 2001). Recently, micro computed tomography (mCT) was introduced to evaluate not only cross-sections of roots, but also three-dimensional shapes of canals at resolutions as high as 36 mm (Peters et al. 2000, Rhodes et al. 2000, Bergmans et al. 2001, Gluskin et al. 2001). This innovation was achieved because new hardware and softwarewas available to evaluate the metrical data created by mCT, thus allowing geometrical changes in prepared canals to be determined in more detail (Peters et al. 2000).” (Peters et al. 2003)
