One of the most common positioning errors in panoramic radiography is the palatoglossal air space above the apices of the root of maxillary teeth. It causes a radiolucency obscuring the apices of maxillary teeth. In the case of this positioning error, the imaging should be repeated. This causes the patient to be exposed to radiation again. To avoid the repetition of exposing harmful X-rays to t...

It is well known that a normal hand radiograph is occasionally encountered in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in whom radiographs of the feet show the classical changes of the disease. Being unaware of any description in the literature of the incidence of this state of affairs, we were prompted to undertake a survey of radiographs of the hands and feet in rheumatoid arthritis, with the prima...

• If there is clinical or radiographic suspicion of AOD, CT of the craniocervical junction is recommended. The CCI determined on CT has the highest diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for AOD among all radiodiagnostic indicators in pediatric patients. The utility of CCI in adult patients has not been reported. • A lateral cervical radiograph is recommended for the diagnosis of AOD. If a radi...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of an oblique obturator radiograph in bone marrow aspiration. The authors retrospectively reviewed 22 patients who underwent bone marrow aspiration guided by the real-time oblique obturator radiograph while in a supine position at their institution between November 2009 and August 2010. The mean duration of bone marrow aspiration was 35±9 second...
