The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the incidence of repeated cone-beam computed tomography scans due to motion artefacts in a Turkish subpopulation.
A total of 6364 patients' cone-beam computed tomography data were analysed retrospectively to identify repeated scans due to motion artefacts. Patients were divided into eight age groups: 1) < 10-year-olds, 2) 10 to 19-year-olds, 3) 20 to 29-year-olds, 4) 30 to 39-year-olds, 5) 40 to 49-year-olds, 6) 50 to 59-year-olds, 7) 60 to 69-year-olds, and 8) > 70 year-olds. Chi-square test was applied to evaluate the repetition rate of scans by age and gender groups. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.
Repeated scans due to motion artefacts were observed in 1.96% of the patients. The repetition rate of scans was significantly higher in males than in females (P = 0.006). Furthermore, the repetition rate of scans was significantly higher in patients < 10 years old compared to the other age groups. However, there was no significant difference in the repetition rate of scans due to motion artefacts among the other age groups (P > 0.05).
The present findings suggest that patient age and gender are associated with repeated cone-beam computed tomography scans due to motion artefacts. Males and children under the age of 10 had more common repeated scans due to motion artefacts.
本回顾性研究的目的是调查土耳其亚人群中因运动伪影导致的锥形束计算机断层扫描重复发生率。
回顾性分析6364例患者的锥形束计算机断层扫描数据，以确定因运动伪影导致的重复扫描情况。患者分为八个年龄组：1）<10岁，2）10至19岁，3）20至29岁，4）30至39岁，5）40至49岁，6）50至59岁，7）60至69岁，8）>70岁。应用卡方检验评估按年龄和性别分组的扫描重复率。设定统计学显著性为P<0.05。
1.96%的患者出现因运动伪影导致的重复扫描。男性的扫描重复率显著高于女性（P=0.006）。此外，<10岁患者的扫描重复率显著高于其他年龄组。然而，其他年龄组因运动伪影导致的扫描重复率无显著差异（P>0.05）。
目前的研究结果表明，患者年龄和性别与因运动伪影导致的锥形束计算机断层扫描重复有关。男性和10岁以下儿童因运动伪影导致的重复扫描更为常见。
