Blunt pelvic traumata are common injuries especially among elderly patients. It is well known, that standard x-ray diagnostics fail to detect all fractures. We set up a retrospective study to gain profound knowledge of the actual informative value of a single, plain a.p. pelvic radiograph in these injuries for detecting acetabular and proximal femoral fractures as a standardized starting point ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the feasibility of using panoramic radiographs as an alternative to an interocclusal recording method for determining the condylar guidance in dentate and edentulous conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS 20 dentulous individuals with an age range of 20-30 years and 20 edentulous patients of 40-65 years were selected. An interocclusal bite registration was done in protrusive...

INTRODUCTION Inappropriate condensation of gutta-percha or improper use of sealer can lead to voids in root canal filling material and consequent failure of the treatment. Timely detection of voids within root canal filling may prevent complications. In this study, we compared the accuracy of digital and conventional radiograph for detecting voids within root canal fillings. MATERIALS AND MET...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of standing position on joint space width (JSW) measurements of the hips with and without osteoarthritis (OA) on pelvic radiographs. METHODS Adult patients aged 18 or more had pelvic anteroposterior conventional radiographs standing and supine performed by a single radiologist in the same radiology unit according to standardised guidelines. JSW measurements in m...

Four camels ( Camelus dromedarius ) presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at King Faisal University with maxillary masses. On radiographs, masses were multicystic and expanded bone. The tumors diagnosed by histopathologic examination as conventional ameloblastoma, two cases intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma, central odontogenic fibroma ossification. To authors’ knowledge, this is fir...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess cone-beam computed (CBCT) sialography imaging in the detection of different changes associated with lesions of salivary glands. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study consisted of 8 cases with signs and symptoms from salivary gland lesions. Conventional sialography using digital panoramic and lateral oblique radiographs and CBCT sialography were perfo...

Aim of the study: To determine the efficacy of Radiovisiography in estimating working length and to compare the accuracy of working length determination between radiovisiography and conventional radiographic methods. Materials and method: A total of 100 samples from 20 single rooted and 30 multirooted teeth were taken. Working length was estimated by both conventional radiographic method (CLrad...

PURPOSE To prospectively compare subjective radiological quality, radiation dose and effect on workflow using digital radiography (DR) vs. conventional screen film (SF) radiography in the Small Bowel Follow-Through (SBFT) examination. METHODS Five attending and four resident radiologists compared hard-copy images from 11 SBFT examinations, for which every patient had a defined pair of SF and ...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Presently, various imaging methods are available for the disclosure of proximal caries. Some recent studies have attempted to determine the diagnostic accuracy of available modalities, but they have shown variable results. Aim: This study was carried out to recognize and examine the correctness of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), regular radiographs and the nondire...

INTRODUCTION Use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in orthodontics is increasing; however, some patients started treatment with conventional images. The objective of this study is to manipulate CBCT panoramic reconstruction to make it comparable to conventional panoramic image and to compare mesiodistal root angulations on both images. MATERIALS AND METHODS Concurrent conventional panor...
