Does the size of an object containing dental implant affect the expression of artifacts in cone beam computed tomography imaging?

Abstract

Object dimensions of the FOV size or up to 20% smaller provided better image quality. Since the dimensions of soft tissue in most patients are larger than the selective FOV, it is recommended that in CBCT artifacts studies, an object with dimensions closer to the patient's dimensions be used to better relate the results with the clinical condition, because the sample dimensions affect the amount of artifacts.
