background scaphoid fractures are the most common type of carpal fractures. objectives the aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic value of panoramic and conventional radiographs of the wrist in scaphoid fractures. patients and methods the panoramic and conventional radiographs of 122 patients with acute and chronic wrist trauma were studied. the radiographs were analyzed and examined by...

a 20-year-old man presented with the history of pain and swelling in the anterior maxillary segment. the periapical radiography was indicative of a dental anomaly in right maxillary lateral incisor. due to the insufficient information from conventional radiography, cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) was ordered. cbct showed apical root resorption, large apical lucency and two separate canals ...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of ultrasound, color Doppler imaging and conventional radiography in monitoring the post-surgical healing of periapical lesions of endodontic origin. Fifteen patients who underwent periapical surgery for endodontic pathology were randomly selected. In all patients, periapical lesions were evaluated preoperatively using ultrasound, color Doppler imaging and...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the accuracy of working length determination using the apex locator versus conventional radiography in C-shaped canals. METHODS AND MATERIALS After confirming the actual C-shaped anatomy using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), 22 extracted C-shaped mandibular second molars were selected and decoronated at the cemento-enamel ju...

Although ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear medicine are digital, they have been displayed in analogue format in the form of films. Other modalities like digital radiography units and scanning of conventional films (computed radiography) are accepted technologies with resolution similar to the conventional film/screen. This advancement in technology is criti...

BACKGROUND There has been no study to compare the diagnostic accuracy of an experienced radiologist with a trainee in nasal bone fracture. OBJECTIVES To compare the diagnostic accuracy between conventional radiography and computed tomography (CT) for the identification of nasal bone fractures and to evaluate the interobserver reliability between a staff radiologist and a trainee. PATIENTS A...

Fundamental and clinical evaluation of chest CT imaging in detectability of pulmonary nodules was carried out in comparison with projection chest radiography including conventional screen-film system, advanced multiple beam equalization radiography (AMBER System), and computed radiography with imaging plate (CR). Detectability of simulated nodules in the fundamental study and of metastatic pulm...
