4 applications of cinematic rendering in maxillofacial CT
By Abraham Kim
Swiss researchers have used cinematic rendering to create photorealistic images of head CT and conebeam CT scans. They assess the potential benefits of integrating these images into the evaluation of maxillofacial anatomy and pathology in a study recently published online in Dentomaxillofacial Radiology.
