Trial summary

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has been used to assess the volume of the maxillary sinus using the manual and semi-automatic segmentation. The majority of researches stressed on the reduced accuracy of the automatic segmentation when compared to the real volume. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Cone Beam Computed Tomographic Segmentation in Volumetric Measurements of Maxillary Sinus Using Different Soft Wares: A Validity and Reliability Study

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has been used to assess the volume of the maxillary sinus using the manual and semi-automatic segmentation. The majority of researches stressed on the reduced accuracy of the automatic segmentation when compared to the real volume. Regarding the semi-automatic segmentation, there are researches assessed the volumetric measurement of the maxillary sinus and they reported that there is no significant difference between semi- automatic and the manual segmentation in CT.

Read the detailed description

Automatic segmentation is believed to be less time consuming and more accurate in assessment of structures with regular border but fairly assessed the structures with irregular border like paranasal sinuses. The semi-automatic software is efficient and accurate as manual tracing with significant reduction in inter-observer variability and time . On the other hand, all neighboring contacting voxels located within a defined range (threshold) of similar HU values of different adjacent tissues may be measured so over calculation or under calculation could be suspected

    semiautomatic segmentation is as accurate as the direct volume of maxillary sinus and as well as the manual segmentation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing semiautomatic software in people with Sinus Volume and CBCT Segmentation, run by Cairo University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Reham Ashraf, master (01027518071 ext. 01027518071, reham.ashraf87@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Validity and reliability of CBCT semiautomatic segmentation in Volumetric measurements of maxillary sinus. (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04092699, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Sep 2019.
