conclusion dt-sfp can improve the detection of relatively early bone abnormalities in acetabular and proximal femur compared with conventional radiography. dt-sfp can also observe the abnormal impact between acetabular and proximal femur. patients and methods ninety-four consecutive patients with discomfort around the hip joint underwent dt-sfp and conventional radiography. the imaging features...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reject rate periapical and bitewing radiographs among dental undergraduate students Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), identify type radiographic errors which are frequently encountered compare rates between Year 3, 4 5 undergraduates. 118 rejected 27 were collected from UKM undergraduates’ polyclinics for a duration 10 months. These further evaluate...

The lung is a common site for metastatic foci from extrapulmonary malignancies. Abrams’ found the lung involved, metastatically, in 46.5 per cent of 1,000 autopsied cases of carcinoma. On the basis of radiographic evaluation, Pendergrass’ estimated the incidence of pulmonary metastases from all carcinomas to be 30 per cent and as high as 75 per cent from renal cancer. In general, the secondary ...

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...

The panoramic radiograph is an excellent extraoral radiograph to reveal abnormalities and pathologic conditions of the jaws and to show calcification of adjacent soft tissue. A single panoramic radiograph provides a significant image of the maxillofacial skeleton and dentition and often is used as a survey or screening film because of the area it covers. The panoramic radiograph does not provid...

A 24-year-old male with a history of psychiatric disorder and no prior significant temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathology presented to the emergency department for "lockjaw." Plain film X-rays of the mandible were read as unremarkable by an attending radiologist, leading to the initial diagnosis of medication-induced dystonic reaction. Following unsuccessful medical treatment a maxillofacial c...

While recent advances in radiologic imaging have focused on CT and MRI technology, progress in digital radiographic techniques has also had significant impact on our ability to evaluate cardiothoracic disease. A number of publications have established the improved image quality of digital imaging systems over conventional film techniques [1]. While image quality has clearly improved with digita...
