Lars Schropp

About

Lars Schropp is a leading researcher in dental and maxillofacial imaging, with a primary focus on improving the accuracy and reliability of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and cephalometric radiography. His work centers on understanding and mitigating the detrimental effects of patient head motion during image acquisition—a critical challenge in clinical practice. Schropp’s major contributions include the development and validation of automated motion artefact correction systems for CBCT, as demonstrated in his most-cited work (27 citations), which quantified how such corrections can significantly enhance image quality and diagnostic interpretability. He has also pioneered the use of three-dimensional head tracking and video observation to detect and quantify simulated head movements, providing a robust framework for assessing motion-related errors. Additionally, his research on image-stitching artefacts in CCD-based cephalograms has shed light on how sensor type and patient movement contribute to diagnostic distortion. With a cumulative impact of over 40 citations across his key studies, Schropp’s work is instrumental in advancing imaging protocols that reduce artefact-induced misdiagnosis, directly benefiting clinicians and patients in orthodontics and oral surgery.
