The National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) has recommended the introduction of dose-width product (DWP) for the measurement of patient dose in panoramic dental radiology and has proposed a reference level of 65 mGy mm for adult exposures. This paper describes a method for measuring DWP and dose-area product (DAP) using thermoluminescent dosemeters (TLDs). The technique was used on 16 set...

One problem employing PACS in radiology departments is the viewing system. Monitors employed in a digital radiology department have a reduced observer performance compared to regular lightboxes. In this study a new digital projector was tested as an alternative display station. In a ROC study observer performance of detection of lung nodules and bone erosions was tested. Detection of lung and b...

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether digitized images obtained from occlusal radiographs taken with low or over dose of radiation could be improved with the aid of computer software for digital treatment. Thirteen occlusal radiographs of a dry skull were taken employing 13 different exposure times. The radiographs were digitized and then manipulated with the program for image editing. ...
