D espite the pivotal role of abnormal chest radiographic findings in alerting clinicians to the possibility of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), the accuracy of radiographic interpretation has received little research interest. Autopsy and clinical data have documented many other causes of abnormal findings, adversely affecting specificity.8,18,83 In addition, sensitivity may be overestima...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging sensor presents an important advantage for the earth change observation independently of weather conditions. However, the SAR image provides an incomplete information (as roads) of the observed scene leading thus to an ambiguous interpretation. In order to compensate the lack of features, the high spatial resolution panchromatic (P) image is often used as ...

INTRODUCTION Effective interprofessional communication is intrinsic to safe health care. Despite the identified positive impact of collaborative radiographic interpretation between rural radiographers and referrers, communication difficulties still exist. This article describes the strategies that Australian rural radiographers use for communication of their radiographic opinion to the referrin...

The defect depth had always been difficult to measure in the regular Radiographic Testing in the past, but can be accurately measured in Digital Radiographic image grayscale by the digital image processing technology. In the paper, the corresponding relation between the digital image grayscale value of the welding defect and the X-ray strength, was analyzed by means of Beer Theorem, and an algo...

Acquisition and interpretation of equine skull radiographs is notoriously difficult. However, by dividing the skull into anatomic regions and considering the radiographic appearance of various pathologic changes that occur in these regions, the process of evaluation becomes simpler. This report aims to review acquisition of skull radiographs and radiographic appearance of various diseases in or...

OBJECTIVES Optimum viewing conditions facilitate identification of radiographic details and decrease the need for retakes, patients' costs and radiation dose. This study sought to evaluate the effects of different viewing conditions on radiographic interpretation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This diagnostic study was performed by evaluating radiograph of a 7mm-thick aluminum block, in which 10 hole...
