objectives : to carry out in vivo and in vitro comparative pilot study to evaluate the preciseness of a newly proposed digital dental radiography setup. this setup was based on markers placed on an external frame to eliminate the measurement errors due to incorrect geometry in relative positioning of cone, teeth and the sensor. methods : five patients with previous panoramic images were selecte...

The impact of digitalization on the average glandular doses in 49 mammographic units participating in the Flemish Breast Cancer Screening Program was studied. Screen-film was changed to direct digital radiography and computed radiography in 24 and 25 departments respectively. Average glandular doses were calculated before and after digitalization for different PMMAphantom thicknesses and for gr...

background radiography plays an important role in the detection of interproximal caries. objectives the aim of the present study was to determine diagnostic accuracy of chargecoupled devices (ccd), photo stimulable phosphor (psp) and film radiography in detecting non-cavitated caries. patients and methods seventy-two non-cavitated approximal surfaces of extracted human posterior teeth were radi...

New digital detectors were developed for medical applications, which have the potential to substitute the X-ray film. Digital Detector Arrays (DDA: Flat Panel Detectors, Line Detectors) and Imaging Plates (Computed Radiography, CR) allow a fast acquisition of radiographic images with higher dynamic than film. Especially DDA’s allow a radiographic inspection with considerable higher image qualit...
