OBJECTIVE The study was performed to evaluate detection of soft-tissue foreign bodies using conventional radiography (film-screen radiography), computed radiography printed on films (computed radiography-hard copy), and computed radiography displayed on a computer workstation (computed radiography-soft copy). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Fifteen foreign bodies of different size, shape, and compositio...

Neutron radiography systems based on Gd, Dy and In metallic foils and X-ray films have been used at this centre since early seventies for various NDT and R&D work in nuclear, defense and aerospace industries. In recent years use of digital detection systems such as neutron scintillator and CCD based imaging systems and photostimulated luminescence based phosphor imaging plate systems have been ...

Conventional radiography plays an essential diagnostic role in the primary evaluation of acute joint trauma. In complex fractures, however, computed tomography (CT) is an imaging modality often used second to radiography. As a result of technical breakthroughs in the field, multidetector CT (MDCT) allows faster imaging and better temporal, spatial, and contrast resolution compared with conventi...

Ultrasound (US) is rapid, non-invasive, simple, effective, and presents a viable and practical alternative to conventional radiography (CR) for the Special Forces Medical Sergeant (18D), particularly in the deployed setting. The authors present four cases that illustrate the ability of US used by the 18D to detect fractures in a combat theater. This success invites a debate as to what extent th...

BACKGROUND Scaphoid fractures are the most common type of carpal fractures. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic value of panoramic and conventional radiographs of the wrist in scaphoid fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS The panoramic and conventional radiographs of 122 patients with acute and chronic wrist trauma were studied. The radiographs were analyzed and examine...
