The historical lack of field-based radiographic studies of nonhuman primates within the field of anthropology is likely due to the perceived difficulty of transporting and operating X-ray equipment. Here we present a method for taking lateral cranial radiographs of nonhuman primates in the field that is simple to employ, and that produces exposed films suitable for collection of measurement dat...

Background: The aim of this study was to examine whether the thickness preoperative soft tissue affects degree movement relative hard after orthognathic surgery. Methods: This is a retrospective examination lateral cephalometric X-rays patients who underwent surgery in single medical center, during 5-year period. Demographic and operative data were collected. Soft measured X-ray, followed by su...

A 12-year-old girl was visited at our clinic with multiple soft tissue and bony painless swellings over her right hand since she was 2 years old (Figure 1). Soft tissue masses increased in size and number. She was born to non-consanguineous parents. Her early development was normal and she had no other medical problems. There was no family history of similar problem. Examination revealed multip...

background evaluation of the craniofacial bones is the oldest method to measure the facial proportion ratio in orthodontics. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of emboss enhancement on the reliability of landmark identification in digital lateral cephalometric images. materials and methods ten digital lateral cephalograms were selected from the archive of an oral an...

Background: Present study is a prospective study to evaluate clinical and etiological features associated with the sensation of lump in the throat, in patients who attended OPD of ENT dept: of Govt: Medical College, Thrissur, Kerala, during August 2012 to August 2013. Various etiologies were found after doing investigations like Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy, Flexible Video laryngoscopy, X ray PNS...

Coherent x-ray diffractive microscopy enables full reconstruction of the complex transmission function of an isolated object to diffraction-limited resolution without relying on any optical elements between the sample and detector. In combination with ptychography, also specimens of unlimited lateral extension can be imaged. Here we report on an application of ptychographic coherent diffractive...

We report the x-ray microtomographic imaging of three-dimensional (3D) structure of soft tissues. The transparency of biological tissue to hard x-rays enables radiographic analysis of tissue entrails. However, biological tissues are mainly composed of light elements, which produce little contrast in a hard x-ray transmission image. Tissue structures were visualized by contrasting biological con...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to determine buccal bone and soft tissue thicknesses and their correlation in the maxillary anterior region using cone beam computed tomography (cbct). materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 330 sound maxillary incisors in 60 patients with a mean age of 37.5 years were assessed by cbct scans. for better visualization of soft tissue, patie...
