Abstract
Hounsfield unit (HU) provides a quantitative evaluation of bone density. The assessment
of bone density is essential for successful treatment plan. Although, multislice computed
tomography (MSCT) is considered as gold standard in evaluating bone density, cone-beam
computed tomography (CBCT) is frequently used in dentomaxillofacial imaging due to
lower radiation dose, less complex device, and images with satisfactory resolution.
