reason, one of the main objectives of the cancer campaign, the medicalization of the population, was not achieved and it was the underprivileged who were the hardest hit. Radiotherapy and radiodiagnosis started to create their own related areas of research and teaching based, above all, on the cure for cancer which they promised. They also created professional associations, although these, as s...

Purpose: Root fracture is a clinical problem which often is difficult to detect and diagnose. As the root fracture detection is based on demonstration of a fracture line or lines, radiographic examination is important. The aim of this study was to compare diagnostic efficacy of direct digital radiography with conventional radiography for detecting experimental root fractures. Materials & Method...

According to WHO, at any one time, around 50 per cent of medical equipment in lowand middle-income countries cannot be used because of lack of maintenance or spare parts.1 We have found that unwillingness or inability to repair equipment and put it back in use is also a major cause. New equipment is made available by different international non-government organisations (INGOs) competing with on...

The hard X-ray beamline BAMline at BESSY II (Berlin, Germany) has now been in service for 20 years. Several improvements have implemented this time, and review provides an overview of the imaging methods available BAMline. Besides classic full-field synchrotron computed tomography (SXCT), also absorption edge CT, refraction radiography (SXRR), (SXRCT) are used imaging. Moreover, virtually any t...

Medical infrared thermography (IRT) was used as a complementary means for the clinical evaluation of musculoskeletal trauma and progression chronic tibial osteomyelitis. Twenty-two adult patients with medical diagnosis osteomyelitis were followed up by IRT performed along standard radiography. Thermal data affected limb compared those healthy contralateral based on thermal profile lower limbs p...

abstract background and aim: considering the widespread development of implants in dental treatment plans, linear measurements on panoramic radiography are of especial importance. in the present study we investigated the effect of head misalignment up to 15° around vertical and horizontal axes on the magnification rate of digital panoramic radiography in each part of upper and lower jaws. mater...
