Background: Fractures are typically evaluated and monitored using plain radiographs, but in the pediatric population goal is always to reduce radiation exposure when possible. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) an imaging modality that uses less radiation. The evaluation of upper lower extremity fractures DEXA has not yet been studied. Method: Radiographs 19 patients treated for forearm or...

Conventional PA and lateral chest radiographs continue to be the initial examination of choice to evaluate patients who are suspected of having a pulmonary parenchymal neoplasm. A lung lesion can be characterized as probably benign or malignant based on its radiographic appearance (size, shape, margins, presence of calcification, cavitation or air bronchograms, growth rate). A spiculated or lob...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy and sensitivity of a fully automatic shape model matching (FASMM) system to derive statistical shape models (SSMs) of the proximal femur from non-standardised anteroposterior (AP) pelvic radiographs. DESIGN AP pelvic radiographs obtained with informed consent and appropriate ethical approval were available for 1105 subjects with unilateral hip osteoarthritis...

Background and Aim: To compare the radiographic distance from the inferior part of mandibular second and third molars to the superior border of mandibular canal on radiographs obtained by conventional periapical radiographs, intraoral photostimulable phosphor plate (Intraoral PSP) and panoramic photostimulable phosphor plate (Panoramic PSP). Subjects and Methods: The study was carried out on 25...

BACKGROUND Although a number of methods are used to estimate polyethylene liner wear from radiographs of total hip replacements, there is no consensus with regard to the accuracy of these methods. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of several such measurement methods with use of both laboratory radiographs and routine clinical radiographs. METHODS A phantom apparatus was de...

It is difficult to take intraoral radiographs in some patients who are intolerable to place the film in their mouth. For these patients, Newman and Friedman recommended a new technique of extraoral film placement. Here we report various cases that diagnostic imaging was performed in patients using the extraoral periapical technique. This technique was used to obtain the radiographs for the pati...
