This review paper proposes a new framework for intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) that shifts focus from "data completeness" to "data sufficiency." The authors argue that achieving mathematically complete data is impossible with current CBCT geometries and that excessive sampling can negatively impact image quality, imaging time, and radiation dose (Q-T-D trade-offs). Instead, the paper advocates for a task-driven approach that prioritizes meeting minimum image-quality thresholds necessary for clinical decision-making, allowing for acceptable approximation errors to achieve a better Q-T-D balance.
