Panoramic full-field imaging is demonstrated by applying spatial multiplexing to Fourier transform holography. Multiple object and reference waves extend the effective field of view for lensless imaging without compromising the spatial resolution. In this way, local regions of interest distributed throughout a sample can be simultaneously imaged with high spatial resolution. A method is propose...

Osteoporosis is a common metabolic disease characterized by low bone mass density. It affects both trabecular and cortical bone. Bone density is an important determinant which plays a vital role in the success of dental implant and denture treatment. A study to determine correlation between mandible trabecullar bone texture parameter with bone mass density value has been done. Samples of this s...

This study was aimed to investigate the use of panoramic radiography in patients with low bone mineral density (BMD) in order to diagnose and prevent osteoporotic fractures. Panoramic radiographs of 60 patients  (20 men and 40 women) aged from 40 to 70 years with cortical thicknesses of less than 3 mm in the mandibular angle were selected from patients referred to a dentomaxillofacial radiology...

Background: Panoramic radiography is a two-dimensional dental x-ray examination that captures the entire mouth in a single image, including the teeth, upper and lower jaws, surrounding structures and tissues. The study was conducted to report the incidental findings on panoramic radiographs. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Oral Medicine & Radiology in year 201...

AIM The overall aim of this pilot study was to establish the role of dental practitioners in identifying patients at risk of osteoporosis from panoramic radiographs. METHODS The pilot study evaluated 32 randomly selected postmenopausal women with no known secondary cause of bone loss. A panoramic radiograph of each patient was taken and qualitative and quantitative radiomorphometric indices w...

The mandible is the largest and strongest part of craniofacial bone face. movable facial bone. has two main structures, body ramus mandible. These structures meet form an angle called gonial angle. will change with age because undergo remodeling so that it can cause changes in shape Changes occur be evaluated by means a panoramic radiograph. growth development which mandibular influenced severa...

In this paper, we review design and principles of existing panoramic cameras. Panoramic cameras which enable 3D computation in reasonable time for real time applications are emphasized. We classify panoramic cameras w.r.t. their construction, field of view, and existence of a single projective center. Using this classification we state a utility of the central catadioptric panoramic cameras. We...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate image quality for marginal bone tissue assessment on panoramic radiographs taken with the Scanora dental programme and on posterior bitewing radiographs. METHODS Panoramic and bitewing radiographs were taken of 96 patients. Six observers rated marginal bone level visibility as excellent, acceptable, or unacceptable. Five observers assessed image quality for detection of...

PURPOSE This study was performed to investigate the course of the mandibular canal on panoramic radiography and the visibility of this canal on both panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study consisted of panoramic radiographs and CBCT images from 262 patients. The course of the mandibular canal, as seen in panoramic radiographs, was classi...
