Accuratezza diagnostica della Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) nel rilevare l'invasione ossea del carcinoma orale

The analytic data showed values of LR+ and LR- of 14.4 and 0.35 for CT (Computed Tomography), 37.9 and 0.24 for MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), 27.8 and 0.10 for CBCT, 25.5 and 0.06 for SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography), 37.0 and 0.31 for MSCT (Multi-Slice Computed Tomography), 4.8 and 0.36 for OPT (Orthopantomography), respectively. The level of scientific evidence available today is low. Further studies with uniform methodological approach are needed, to better define the impact of CBCT on clinical decision-making.
