This article on digital radiography image processing and display is the second of two articles written as part of an intersociety effort to establish image quality standards for digital and computed radiography. The topic of the other paper is digital radiography image acquisition. The articles were developed collaboratively by the ACR, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, and th...

Digital technology has been introduced into radiography very recently but the conventional film based technique will be totally out of the arena in no time as what has happened in the photography field. The state-of-art technology is direct digital Xray imaging based on Flat Panel Detector technology in which the X-ray image is displayed on the computer without the intermediate optics or mechan...

OBJECTIVE To determine the film-retake rates and causes in digital radiography comparison to conventional X-rays method. STUDY DESIGN Comparative study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Radiology Department, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from January 2004 to December 2006. PATIENTS AND METHODS X-rays of different body parts, conducted during the year 2004, with conventional radiograph...

AIMS To compare the evolution of weight loss and complications in the patients subjected to two techniques of bariatric surgery (RVG: ring vertical gastroplasty and BP: gastric by pass type Capella) carried out in HospitalLa Paz during the years 2000 and 2001. MATERIAL AND METHODS 51 patients (27 RVG and 24 BP) were operated, and 44 (22 RVG and 22 BP) completed the follow-up at 1 year, 43 (22...

PURPOSE There has been a proliferation of available dental x-ray detectors over the recent past. The purpose of this short technical report is to provide a basic comparison of spatial resolution, contrast perceptibility, and relative exposure latitudes of 18 current dental x-ray detectors, including solid-state systems (CCD and CMOS), photostimulable phosphors, and analog film. METHODS Spatia...

Digital radiography offers the potential of improved image quality as well as providing opportunities for advances in medical image management, computer-aided diagnosis and teleradiology. Image quality is intimately linked to the precise and accurate acquisition of information from the x-ray beam transmitted by the patient, i.e. to the performance of the x-ray detector. Detectors for digital ra...

conclusions the designed software was able to detect a significant number of dentin caries and acceptable measuring of the depth of carious lesions in enamel and dentin. however, the software had limited ability in detecting enamel lesions. background radiographs, adjunct to clinical examination are always valuable complementary methods for dental caries detection. recently, progressing in digi...

introdouction:the study aimed to compare the accuracy of proximal caries detection by dental practitioners using two different systems, direct digital system and conventional films, under routine environmental conditions. materials and methods: eleven extracted human posterior teeth were mounted on wax frames and were exposed using the direct digital system and conventional films. seventy-four ...

conclusions according to the results of this study, the accuracy of the file length in improved digital images showed no significant difference in comparison with the actual file length. materials and methods using an analytical-diagnostic method, an access cavity was prepared in 36 mandibular and maxillary premolar teeth. a file # 15 was inserted into the canal of each tooth until the tip of t...

introduction: external root resorption (err) is associated with physiological and pathological dissolution of mineralized tissues by clastic cells and radiography is one of the most important methods in its diagnosis. the aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the accuracy of conventional intraoral radiography (cr) in comparison with digital radiographic techniques, i.e. charge-coupled ...
