CBCT imaging and the data at image margins are underutilized. CBCT can produce excellent structural resolution with conventional imaging parameters, even with off-focus images. Using ultra-low doses of radiation, the produced IQ is clinically sufficient. We encourage ear surgeons to check the patients' imaging history and to consider the use of imaging modalities that involve lower radiation doses especially when conducting repetitive investigations and with children.
