background and aims. digital radiographs have some advantages over conventional ones. application of digital receptors is not routine yet. therefore, there is a need for digitizing conventional radiographs. the aim of the present study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of digitized conventional radiographs by scanner and camera in detection of proximal caries. material and methods. three h...

objective: after introduction of digital radiography into dentistry several methods of image acquisition were accessible in the field of dentistry. in many instances it is necessary to digitize analog images. there is no overall acceptable method for image digitization so all different types of images can be comparable. the objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of diffe...

the aim of digital subtraction of radiographic images is eliminating the additional shades to increase the resolution and quality of the images. in dentistry, digital subtraction technique can be used for diagnosis of progressive periodontal diseases or evaluation of the amount of jaw bone repair or destruction. in this study, the possibility of digital subtraction with non-expensive techniques...

Digital images can be captured or generated by a variety of sources including digital cameras and scanners. In many cases it is important to be able to determine the source of a digital image. This paper presents methods for authenticating images that have been acquired using flatbed desktop scanners. The method is based on using the pattern noise of the imaging sensor as a fingerprint for the ...

A large portion of digital image data available today is acquired using digital cameras or scanners. While cameras allow digital reproduction of natural scenes, scanners are often used to capture hardcopy art in more controlled scenarios. This paper proposes a new technique for non-intrusive scanner model identification, which can be further extended to perform tampering detection on scanned im...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM A new approach to both 3-dimensional (3D) trueness and precision is necessary to assess the accuracy of intraoral digital impressions and compare them to conventionally acquired impressions. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate whether a new reference scanner is capable of measuring conventional and digital intraoral complete-arch impressions for 3D ...

Objectives: Several methods of image acquisition are accessible in dentistry. There is no overall acceptable method for image digitization so all different types of images can be comparable. The objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of different methods of image digitization. Methods: This accuracy diagnostic test study used perceptibility curve test which first intr...

Digital images can be captured or generated by a variety of sources including digital cameras and scanners. In many cases it is important to be able to determine the source of a digital image. Methods exist to authenticate images generated by digital cameras or scanners, however they rely on prior knowledge of the image source (camera or scanner). This paper presents methods for determining the...
