About
Casper Kruse is a leading researcher in oral and maxillofacial radiology, with a primary focus on improving the diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in endodontics. His most cited work, an *ex vivo* study on human cadavers, directly addresses a critical clinical challenge: the impact of patient motion during CBCT scans. Kruse’s research systematically evaluated how motion artefacts compromise the detection of apical periodontitis, a common inflammatory condition around the tooth root. Crucially, he also assessed the effectiveness of motion-artefact correction algorithms, demonstrating their potential to salvage diagnostically compromised images. This work, cited 17 times, provides essential, evidence-based guidance for clinicians on when to rely on corrected scans versus when a retake is necessary. By quantifying the trade-off between artefact severity and diagnostic confidence, Kruse has helped refine clinical protocols for CBCT imaging, directly contributing to more accurate diagnoses and better treatment planning for patients with endodontic disease. His research underscores a commitment to bridging the gap between advanced imaging technology and practical, everyday clinical decision-making.
