True positive result denotes correct placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound and chest radiography. True negative result 1⁄4 incorrect placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound and chest radiography. False positive result 1⁄4 correct placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound not confirmed by che...

In November of 2005 a measurement series was conducted on different kinds of reference objects to compare the results of the FRM-II (ANTARES) and the Budapest (Radiography Station) research reactor in the field of neutron radiography, gamma radiography, classical tomography and discrete tomography by an ANDOR CCD camera and Imaging plate with BAS 2500 Scanner (contributed by AIDA software).

statement of the problem diagnosis of periodontal diseases without any accurate radiograph is inadequate. bitewing (bw) and periapical (pa) radiographic techniques are commonly used to assess alveolar bone crest (abc) level which is crucial in the evaluation of periodontal disease. purpose the purpose of this study was to compare the precision of bw and pa radiographs in determining the distanc...

abstract background: with respect to the difference in the interaction of thermal neutron and x rays with matter, using two radiography systems of thermal neutron and x rays will yield highly valuable information for studying the inner structure of biologic samples. methods: the high sensitivity of thermal neutron to hydrogen, in particular, has led to recognizing this system as a useful tool i...

Aims & Objectives: To compare the fi ndings of Radiography and Computed Tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of vertical root fractures and to correlate our fi ndings post operatively. Material and Methods: We evaluated 22 cases of clinically suspected vertical root fractures those who were referred to us for Dental CT and compared fi ndings of Radiography and CT. Radiography was carried out in the...

BACKGROUND Chest radiography and electrocardiogram have been criticized due to their low sensitivity for Left Ventricular Hypertrophy diagnosis compared to echocardiogram. This one, however, is not available in primary health care centers to all hypertensive population. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the association chest radiography-electrocardiogram provides the accuracy to justify its use i...

BACKGROUND Radiography, typically the first-line imaging study for diagnosis of craniosynostosis, exposes infants to ionizing radiation. We aimed to compare the accuracy of cranial ultrasound (CUS) with radiography for the diagnosis or exclusion of craniosynostosis. METHODS Children aged 0 to 12 months who were assessed for craniosynostosis during 2011-2013 by using 4-view skull radiography a...

BACKGROUND Public health authorities worldwide discourage the use of chest radiography as a screening modality, as the diagnostic performance of chest radiography does not justify its application for screening and may even be harmful, since people with false positive results may experience anxiety and concern. Despite the accumulated evidence, various reports suggest that primary care physician...

In the spring of 2002, a mail survey was conducted to determine the use of individualized radiographic examinations (selective radiography) for comprehensive care patients at all sixty-four U.S. and Canadian dental schools. Results from previous surveys were used to evaluate the long-term longitudinal trends. Among sixty-two schools (97 percent response rate), selective radiography was used by ...
