Background and Aim: Due to the increasing number of radiographic tests, TLD dosimeters can be used to measure the effective dose of critical organs in various radiographic tests. In this research, the progression of analogue to digital radiology devices, which facilitates and accelerates the performance of radiographs, especially emergency patients, was investigated, and then the effective dose...

Several agents show an effect on reducing radiographic progression in rheumatoid arthritis. It is tempting to retrospectively compare the effects of these agents on radiographic progression across clinical trials. However, there are several limitations in interpreting and comparing radiographic results across clinical trials. These limitations, including study designs, patient characteristics, ...

Purpose: Our purpose is to test the hypothesis that arthroscopic partial meniscectomy results in knee osteoarthritis at long-term follow-up. Methods: We systematically reviewed PubMed search terms “meniscus AND arthritis AND knee” and “meniscectomy AND arthritis AND knee” and included English-language, Levels I to IV evidence studies reporting either radiographic or clinical osteoarthritis outc...

BACKGROUND The progressive nature of knee osteoarthritis (OA) leads to not only to physical but also to psychosocial decline; this aspect can influence knee pain experience, manifestations and inevitably diagnostic accuracy. METHODS Data on 663 subjects was obtained by interview using a structured questionnaire on social, demographic, behavioural and clinical data. Painful knee was assessed r...

Dynamic knee alignment is speculated to have a stronger relationship to medial knee loading than radiographic alignment. Therefore, we aimed to determine what frontal plane knee kinematic variable correlated most strongly to the knee adduction moment. That variable was then compared with radiographic alignment as a predictor of the knee adduction moment. Therefore, 55 subjects with medial knee ...

The dental identification of human remains utilizes the matching of dental restorations. The radiographic images of amalgam restorations are paramount in this process. The compound amalgam restoration has a unique radiographic morphology and can be readily identified in both antemortem and postmortem data. To test the radiographic morphology of compound amalgam restorations, 10 out of 40 Typodo...

cular or other deposit and infiltration, the presence of fracture in the form of fissure or of fragments, and the like. This is the method of simple inspection. In the second degree there is determined, from an exact knowledge of the position of the radiographic centre of emission to the object and to the picture plane at the time of exposure, the direction in which the parts depicted lie withi...
