In other Imaging Community news, researchers wanted to find out which is the best modality for correctly identifying the anatomy of a root canal. They tested cone-beam CT and periapical radiography to see if either was more accurate than microcomputed tomography. They reported that practitioners should be aware of each modality's limitations.
