Measurement of Clavicle Fracture Shortening Using Computed Tomography and Chest Radiography

Measurement of Clavicle Fracture Shortening Using Computed Tomography and Chest Radiography

BACKGROUND Nonoperative management of midshaft clavicle fractures has resulted in widely disparate outcomes and there is growing evidence that clavicle shortening poses the risk of unsatisfactory functional outcomes due to shoulder weakness and nonunion. Unfortunately, the literature does not clearly demonstrate the superiority of one particular method for measuring clavicle shortening. The pur...

Dose Reduction Methods in Chest Computed Tomography

Introduction: Computed tomography is one of the most powerful tools for investigating thorax disease, because it shows progression of lung disease much clearer than chest radiography. Technical advances in CT scanners have led to some abilities for CT scanners such as coverage of larger volume, lower noise and ability for acquiring image in one respiratory phase. However, this will be accompani...

Comparing the Accuracy of Cone Beam Computed Tomography,Digital Intraoral Radiography and Conventional Intraoral Radiography in the Measurement of Periodontal Bone Defects

Background and Aim: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) produces high-quality data in periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of CBCT with intraoral digital and conventional radiography in the measurement of periodontal bone defects.  Methods and Materials: In this diagnostic research, two hundred and eighteen artificial osseous d...

diagnostic value of cone-beam computed tomography and periapical radiography in detection of vertical root fracture

i ntroduction: vertical root fracture (vrf) is the longitudinal fracture of the root in endodontically treated teeth. considering the limitations of two-dimensional radiographic images in detection of vrf and introduction of cone-beam computed tomography (cbct), this study was designed to find the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of cbct and periapical (pa) radiography in detection of vrfs...
