USEFULNESS OF INTRAOPERATIVE IMAGING BY MOBILE CONE-BEAM CT

Abstract

　The use of the newly developed mobile cone-beam CT for intraoperative imaging was reported. The image quality was good enough to visualize a remaining cyst and herniated orbital contents in a frontal sinus cyst drainage, and the proper placement of the electrode and the receiver-stimulator during a cochlear implantation. Compared to intraoperative MRI, information about soft tissues were limited, however, the required time was much shorter.
