1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeIn C-arm computed tomography (CT), the field of view (FOV) is often not sufficient to acquire certain anatomical structures, e.g., a full hip or thorax. Proposed methods to extend the FOV use a fixed detector displacement and a 360° scan range to double the radius of the FOV. These trajectories are designed for circular FOVs. However, there are cases in which the required FOV is not circular but rather an ellipsoid.

methodsIn this work, the authors show that in fan-beam CT, the use of a dynamically adjusting detector offset can reduce the required scan range when using a noncircular FOV. Furthermore, the authors present an analytic solution to determine the minimal required scan ranges for elliptic FOVs given a certain detector size and an algorithmic approach for arbitrary FOVs.

resultsThe authors show that the proposed method can result in a substantial reduction of the required scan range. Initial reconstructions of data sets acquired with our new minimal trajectory yielded image quality comparable to reconstructions of data acquired using a fixed detector offset and a full 360° rotation.

conclusionsOur results show a promising reduction of the necessary scan range especially for ellipsoidal objects that extend the FOV. In noncircular FOVs, there exists a set of solutions that allow a trade-off between detector size and scan range.
