Once out of the dental school in 1993, I realized that not many practices used rectangular collimators. Often-heard reasons for not using a rectangular collimator are cone-cutting errors and the fact that it is easier to aim with a circular collimator. Later, during my training as a dental and maxi...

Digital offers clear logistical advantages, such as the ability to integrate mammography images and reports with the rest of the digital radiology enterprise. And all major trials completed to date have concluded that clinically, digital is at least equivalent to, if not statistically better than, screen-film. With the high spatial resolution so critical for detecting masses and microcalcificat...

In this paper we describe two projects at the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications of the National Library of Medicine. The first project is a digital atlas for the interpretation of osteoarthritic conditions in the cervical and lumbar spines, using methodology developed by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). The goal of the at...
