About
Gustavo Machado Santaella is a leading researcher in oral and maxillofacial radiology, with a primary focus on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. His work centers on improving CBCT image quality and diagnostic interpretability, particularly through the correction of motion artefacts—a critical challenge in dental and medical imaging. His most cited paper (2019, 19 citations) systematically evaluates how movement and motion-artefact correction systems affect image quality in CBCT units with both aligned and lateral-offset detectors, using simulated diagnostic tasks such as implant planning in the anterior maxilla. This research has direct clinical implications, helping radiologists and clinicians obtain clearer, more reliable images for treatment planning. Santaella’s contributions are notable for bridging technical imaging physics with practical diagnostic outcomes, making his work valuable to both researchers and practitioners. His studies on detector configurations and artefact reduction have informed best practices in CBCT acquisition protocols, influencing how modern imaging systems are designed and applied in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery.
