Modeling and evaluation of a high‐resolution <scp>CMOS</scp> detector for cone‐beam <scp>CT</scp> of the extremities

Abstract

The small pixel size of CMOS detectors yields improved performance in high-resolution extremity CBCT compared to a-Si:H FPDs, particularly when coupled with a custom 0.4 mm thick scintillator. The results indicate that adoption of a CMOS detector in extremity CBCT can benefit applications in quantitative imaging of trabecular microstructure in humans.
