OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to discuss the potential issue of exposing patient information from digital images used in PowerPoint presentations. CONCLUSION Current methods for safeguarding patient information in PowerPoint presentations still contain the potential for risk. In radiology, many digital images used in PowerPoint contain hidden patient identification information. Alt...

During the past two decades, digital radiography has supplanted screen-film radiography in many radiology departments. Today, manufacturers provide a variety of digital imaging solutions based on various detector and readout technologies. Digital detectors allow implementation of a fully digital picture archiving and communication system, in which images are stored digitally and are available a...

The main purpose of this paper is about the relative merits of automated feature detection protocols on cephalometricrelated digital radiology images. While the domain dependent techniques such as handcrafted masks are shown to be more accurate than pixel-based domain independent methods, the process for determining these shapes was unwieldy with respect to time taken and subjectivity. This pap...

The digital and online revolution is having a profound impact on radiology journals, forcing a migration from print to online publication and altering traditional revenue streams needed to sustain the journals. The 2013 Intersociety Committee Summer Conference attendees reviewed the history of the development of radiology journals, explored the forces driving the transition from print to electr...

X-ray imaging in diagnostic radiology is recognized worldwide as an outstanding tool for the early recognition and prevention of diseases. The reverse side is that radiography contributes essentially to the exposure of the public. Mean effective doses, averaged over patients and non-patients, are reaching or exceeding the level of natural radiation. This is particularly the case when digital im...

Education in diagnostic radiology employs medical images extensively, and case-based teaching files of actual patients are useful to illustrate pertinent teaching points. In the era of digital radiology, there is great potential to use the ready source of patient material from Picture Archive and Communication Systems (PACS) and initiatives such as Medical Imaging Resource Center (MIRC) on the ...

This paper presents the pilot evaluation of a laboratory classroom simulation of radiology networking technology. The simulation focused on educating undergraduate students in applying radiology Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in a networked environment, based on the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard. The laboratory exercise structure enables stu...

X‐rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen. Digital radiology has overtaken conventional screen‐film radiography since it was introduced in the mid‐1980s.[1] Digital imaging uses sensor of solid‐state, and information is presented and stored as an image using a computer. The dawn of the digital era in dental radiography came in 1987 with the first digital radiography system called radio...
