Considerations in Detecting Soft Tissue Calcifications on Panoramic Radiography
Head and neck soft tissues calcifications can result from physiological or pathological mineralization. Some of these calcifications may be found on panoramic radiography because of their proximity to the focal trough and their superimposition over hard and soft tissue structures. Such radiographic images are common and create a diagnostic challenge. Differentiation of these entities can be don...
متن کاملComparison of Accuracy of Prediction of Osteoporosis in Digital Panoramic Radiography with DEXA Scan in Postmenopausal Women: A Pilot Study
Aims and objectives: To compare the accuracy of prediction of osteoporosis in digital panoramic radiography with Dual Xray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans and serum investigations such, as calcium, phosphorous, alkaline phosphatase in postmenopausal women. The objective of the study is to detect the appearance of eroded mandibular cortex (cortical shape), inferior cortical width appearance on Digit...
متن کاملProximal caries detection accuracy using intraoral bitewing radiography, extraoral bitewing radiography and panoramic radiography.
OBJECTIVE To compare proximal caries detection using intraoral bitewing, extraoral bitewing and panoramic radiography. METHODS 80 extracted human premolar and molar teeth with and without proximal caries were used. Intraoral radiographs were taken with Kodak Insight film (Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, NY) using the bitewing technique. Extraoral bitewing and panoramic images were obtained usin...
