introdouction: the aim of the present study was to investigate image magnification in digital panoramic radiography and assess the effect of anatomical sites on the magnification in both males and females. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, digital panoramic radiographs of 48 patients with 202 implants were investigated. implant diameter and length were measured on panoramic ra...

background radiographs play an integral role in the assessment of periodontal disease. in recent years, advent of digital imaging has revolutionized radiology in dentistry. patients and methods in this diagnostic accuracy study, 48 inter proximal surfaces were evaluated in eight patients. these patients had alveolar bone loss in anterior regions because of periodontitis. intraoral (parallel per...

AIM To compare the accuracy of determining the distance between alveolar crest and cementoenamel junction (CEJ) in digital radiography with two image processing software programs. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, 63 sites in a dried human mandible underwent digital periapical radiography. The distance from the alveolar crest to the CEJ was calculated using DentalEye and Scanora s...

Introduction: Dental caries is dramatically common among people. The aim of this study was to evaluate the agreement of paper prints and film prints and monitor in detection of dentinal caries in digital panoramic radiography. Materials and methods: In this analytical study, radiographic images of 150 patients referred to a private clinic and who needed panoramic radiographs for various rea...

This article on digital radiography image acquisition is the first 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 processing and display. The articles were developed collaboratively by the ACR, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, and the...

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...

introduction proper cleaning and shaping of the root canal system is one of the most important aspects of endodontic therapy. to estimate the canal length before instrumentation in endodontic treatment, traditionally, conventional radiographic techniques and, recently, direct digital radiography (ddr) are applied. the application of computer technology in radiography has allowed less exposure t...
