Objectives
1 To compare the difference in the visibility of the mandibular canal between CBCT images acquired using standard-dose and various low-dose imaging settings; 2 To assess the sensitivity of low-dose CBCT for identification of the mandibular canal; 3 To assess the segmentation accuracy of the mandibular canal on low-dose CBCT images compared to standard-dose CBCT images.
