Appraising pulmonary edema using supine chest roentgenograms in ventilated patients.

The role of portable, anteroposterior, supine chest X-rays (CXRs) in distinguishing hydrostatic pulmonary edema (HPE) from permeability pulmonary edema (PPE) in mechanically ventilated patients is controversial. We prospectively obtained and evaluated such CXRs in 33 supine, mechanically ventilated intensive-care-unit patients with pulmonary artery catheters. Three chest radiologists independen...

Dental caries increments evaluated by use of bite-wing roentgenograms.

Comparison of cephalometric measurements with digital versus conventional cephalometric analysis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of angular and linear cephalometric measurements using a computerized method of direct digital radiographs. This was then compared with the measurements obtained with a computerized method that uses a digitizing pad and hand tracing of printout radiographs. Pre-treatment digital cephalometric radiographs of 125 patients were tra...
