PURPOSE Skeletal involvement is a hallmark of multiple myeloma. Increased bone resorption can even be present in patients lacking osteolyses in conventional radiography. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine was established as a more sensitive technique to depict bone abnormalities. Type-I collagen degradation product carboxyterminal telopeptide of type-I collagen (ICTP) was introduced ...

PURPOSE To compare the diagnostic accuracy of radiography, to radiography equivalent dose multidetector computed tomography (RED-MDCT) and to radiography equivalent dose cone beam computed tomography (RED-CBCT) for wrist fractures. METHODS As study subjects we obtained 10 cadaveric human hands from body donors. Distal radius, distal ulna and carpal bones (n = 100) were artificially fractured ...

Dear Editor, The selection of appropriate diagnostic techniques is an important step in the treatment of disease. An optimal diagnostic method can provide essential information, while minimizing cost and harm to patients. In dental radiography , attempts have been made to reduce patient exposure to radiation. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital radiography were developed to achieve...

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 & metho...

Introduction: External root resorption is a clinical problem that often cannot be detected clinically. Thus, radiography plays a crucial role in its diagnosis. However, optimal radiographic quality with minimal radiation exposure {2.1 [EN] Verify English word/phrase choice} is an important factor in selecting the appropriate radiographic technique. The aim of this study was the comparison of ac...

PURPOSE The purpose of this review is to evaluate the possibility of panoramic radiography as a national oral examination tool. MATERIALS AND METHODS This report was carried out by review of the literatures. RESULTS Panoramic radiography has sufficient diagnostic accuracy in dental caries, periodontal diseases, and other lesions. Also, the effective dose of panoramic radiography is lower th...

The choice of implant shape and size is an important part the treatment plan procedure in order to obtain that sta-ble masticatory function aesthetic function. use implants with a tapered design surface modification would improve ultimate stability low density bone. A comprehensiveand accurate radiographic examination also import-ant aspect dental planning. This article aimed present things abo...

Conventional chest radiography is the most common imaging procedure in children. When a chest mass is discovered, cross-sectional imaging is often required to accurately localize and characterize the lesion in order to narrow the differential diagnosis. Knowledge of the differential diagnostic possibilities for chest tumors in children is important for both the pediatric and general radiologist...

The Achilles tendon is the most commonly injured tendon in the foot and ankle; injuries commonly are related to sports/athletic activities. Imaging modalities that are used most commonly in the diagnostic assessment of the Achilles tendon include conventional radiography, ultrasonography, and MRI. This article reviews the normal and pathologic imaging features of the Achilles tendon, and highli...
