Impact of Artifact Reduction Tools in Micro–computed Tomography Images for Endodontic

Abstract

Microcomputed tomography (mCT) is an imaging technique increasingly used in endodontic research due to its non-destructive technique that allows imaging at the micron scale. In the presence of dense material, artifacts may appear in images obtained using mCT. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the content and purpose of the effects of artifact reduction tools available for mCT image reconstruction to determine whether their use affects endodontic education.
