The objective of this study was to assess bone density measurements for analysis of repairing fractures in rats using direct digital radiography under Dexamethasone effects. Thirty (30) young adult male Wistar rats were used, with an average weight of 200g, which were submitted to general anesthetics by ethyl ether. One rib of each animal was fractured by surgical technique. The rats were divid...

The only sign of chronic apical periodontitis is periapical lesions that are seen in radiographs. Lesions are visible when the inflammation reaches cortical plates. Lesions located in cancellous bone, cannot be easily seen in radiography. Developing computerized technology in radiography, which has numerous advantages and its show up devices in the market, encourage the clinicians to take advan...

background and aim: clinical and radiographic diagnoses of dental root fractures have always been difficult and require high accuracy in dental care and treatment. the aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of intraoral digital radiography (psp) and cbct in the detection of horizontal root fracture (hrf) and vertical root fracture (vrf). materials and methods: for this experim...

Flat-panel X-ray image detectors have been shown to be suitable to replace the conventional X-ray filmjscreen cassettes for medical radiography (static or snapshot imaging). They are capable of capturing the X-ray image digitally immediately after the X-ray exposure which permits a convenient clinical transition to digital radiography. There are two general approaches to the flat-panel X-ray de...

Dental radiography is an essential component in the delivery of high-quality dental care for dogs and cats. During the 1980s veterinarians began taking radiographs of teeth using standard radiographic units; however, these units made patient positioning difficult and often resulted in suboptimal films. In the 1990s dental radiographic units became a more common part of the veterinary dental dia...

Digital imaging is becoming widely used in diagnostic radiology, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is now generally accepted [1-3]. Several studies have evaluated digital imaging using a computed radiography system for chest examinations [4-10] and for excretory urography [11] . This prospective study uses receiver operating curve analysis [12 , 13] to compare the diagnostic accuracy of...

This paper solves the problem of determining the number of cells in an invertible three neighborhood null-boundary uniform cellular automaton (CA) by using its rule vector graph (RVG). The RVG represents an efficient data structure designed to characterize CA evolution and is derived out of its rule vector (RV). The concept of a horizontal rule vector subgraph (HRVS) is introduced to formulate ...
