Missias EM, et al. - In this study, experts sought to determine the prevalence of soft tissue calcifications in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans with different fields of view (FOV). Furthermore, they evaluated its relation with the clinical relevance of the CBCT findings. In CBCT, a high prevalence of soft tissue calcifications was noticed.

They highlighted the importance of detailed CBCT assessment for its diagnosis, while most cases did not require treatment.
