Background: The radiation doses resulting from diagnostic X-ray examinations are routinely measured in terms of entrance surface dose (ESD) and effective dose (ED). In this study, for the purpose of radiation protection, the radiation doses received from Digital chest X-ray examination were evaluated in terms of ESD and ED. Material and Methods: The ED was calculated by using the MCNP ...

Conventional radiography has been for decades the standard method of evaluation for cervical spine trauma patients. However, currently available helical multidetector CT scanners allow multiplanar reconstruction of images, leading to increased diagnostic accuracy. The purpose of this study was to determine the relative benefit/risk ratio between cervical spine CT and cervical spine radiography ...

OBJECTIVES Early diagnosis of incipient and non-cavitated carious lesions is crucial for performing preventive treatments. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of three diagnostic methods of bitewing radiography, DIAGNOdent, and visual examination in diagnosing incipient occlusal caries of permanent first molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this diagnostic cross-sectional study, 109...

exploration. The mechanism of injury, the clinical findings, local anaesthetic blocks, contrast arthrography, plain radiography and cine-radiography are the main diagnostic methods available. All or several may provide the necessary assistance. In 1962 Golding described an observation made on plain radiography that we believe is not only valid but can often help in the search for the causative ...

RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The process of transferring older, vulnerable adults from an elder care facility to the hospital for medical care can be an emotionally and physically stressful experience. The recent development of modern mobile radiography may help to ease this anxiety by allowing for evaluation in the nursing home itself. Up until this point, no health economic evaluation of th...

Carestream has implemented companion views in its digital radiography systems. A companion view is designed to complement the standard processed radiographic image delivered from the digital radiography capture modality to PACS, to provide an additional rendering tailored for the visual interpretation needed for a specific diagnostic or clinical purpose. Two companion views are available in Car...

Case Description- Two female domestic short-hair cats Clinical Findings- The cats with clinical signs of regurgitation, dysphagia and respiratory distress were presented. Symptomatic sliding hiatal hernia was diagnosed by radiography in these cats. Treatment and Outcome- The hernias were corrected surgically by only left-sided fundic gastropexy in one, and by reduction of hiatal opening and g...
