Background Nowadays, digital radiography is widely used in dental practice. One of the most common types is Photo Stimulated Phosphor Plate (PSP). Objective The aims of this experimental study were to evaluate the impacts of different combinations of storage conditions and varying delays in reading of digital images captured using PSPs. Methods Standardized images of a step wedges were obta...

objective: vertical root fracture (vrf) is among the most common causes of endodontic treatment failures. this study aims to compare charge-coupled devices (ccd) and photostimulable phosphor plates (psp) for detection of vertical root fractures in endodontically treated teeth.   methods: in this diagnostic in vitro study, 40 maxillary anterior teeth were selected and after preparation and root ...

Objectives: In restorative dentistry, it is essential to estimate the amount of remnant tooth structure after caries removal to make the best treatment plan. The present study was aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between the real thickness of remnant dentin under carious lesion and the radiographical measurement from photostimulable phosphor plates (PSPs). Methods: a whole numb...

This contribution discusses a selection of today's techniques and futurc concepts for digital x-ray imaging in medicine. Advantages of digital imaging over conventional analog methods include the possibility to archive and transmit images in digital intormation systems as well as to digitally process pictures before display, for example, to enhance low contrast details. After reviewing two digi...

Computed radiography (CR) with storage phosphor based luminescence imaging plate (IP) is based on the principle that phosphors can be developed in such a way that they retain the latent image information until stimulated by laser light. This paper focuses on the application of industrial X-ray detecting and image processing techniques. In order to improve the validity of the images it is necess...

AIM To compare in an ex vivo model the ability of digital intraoral radiography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to detect simulated external inflammatory root resorption lesions, and to investigate the effect of altering the degree of rotation of the CBCT scanners X-ray source and imaging detector on the ability to detect the same lesions. METHODOLOGY Small and large simulated extern...
