Conventional vs Computed Radiography : Evaluation of Myelography 165
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital imaging is becoming widely used in diagnostic radiology, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is now generally accepted [1-3]. Several studies have evaluated digital imaging using a computed radiography system for chest examinations [4-10] and for excretory urography [11] . This prospective study uses receiver operating curve analysis [12 , 13] to compare the diagnostic accuracy of conventional film-screen radiography (FS) and computed radiography (CR) in myelography.

Introduction For most animals with suspected neurologic disease, conventional diagnostic radiography remains the preferred method of initial evaluation [1-9]. It is inexpensive, noninvasive, and readily available to most veterinary practitioners. However, radiographs significantly underestimate many abnormalities of the nervous system. The main limiting factors include superimposition of overly...
متن کاملComparing the Accuracy of Cone Beam Computed Tomography,Digital Intraoral Radiography and Conventional Intraoral Radiography in the Measurement of Periodontal Bone Defects
Background and Aim: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) produces high-quality data in periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of CBCT with intraoral digital and conventional radiography in the measurement of periodontal bone defects. Methods and Materials: In this diagnostic research, two hundred and eighteen artificial osseous d...
متن کاملDigital myelography of spinal dysraphism in infancy: preliminary results.
Digital techniques are becoming well established as costeffective for vascular imaging in neuroradiology [1, 2]. Pediatric application of this technology is also under development [3]. Futhermore, there has been increasing use of more efficient, less invasive methods of evaluating pediatric spine problems through newer-generation computed tomography (CT), including scanned-projection radiograph...
متن کاملReduction in retake rates and radiation dosage through computed radiography.
The availability of computed radiography has opened the possibility of using reduced dosage for radiographs in clinical settings and reducing the retake rate. A prospective controlled study was carried out over a period of four months comparing conventional X-rays and computed radiography. The aim was to assess if computed radiography at 50% normal dosage would result in films of adequate quali...
متن کاملThree-dimensional rotational myelography.
Three-dimensional (3D) rotational radiography, initially developed to visualize intracranial aneurysms, is applied to the cervical spine after conventional myelography. We call this process 3D rotational myelography. 3D reconstruction and then postprocessing allows imaging in multiple planes. Spinal or nerve root sheath alterations caused by bony or soft tissue can be visualized and differentia...
