Radiographic artifacts may mimic a clinical feature, impair image quality, or obscure abnormalities. With the development of digital radiography (DR), a new set of artifacts is introduced. Regardless of the technology, the classic technical errors that occur with film screen radiography still occur using DR. Artifacts created using computed radiography, DR, and incorrect image processing are di...

Introdouction: Canal length measurement is essential for proper endodontic treatment. Any error or miscalculation in working length determination, particularly in curved canals, can result in complications during or after root canal therapy. Digital radiography has enabled accurate measurement of curved canal length. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of calibration of a complementary m...

statement of problem: digital measurement of rvg may improve diagnostic interpretation of radiographs in terms of accuracy, although it has been shown that validity of linear measurements of interproximal bone loss could not be improved by basic digital manipulations. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of radiovisiography (rvg) in the linear measurement of interproximal...

Intraoral radiographs can be valuable aids in the diagnosis and management of equine dental disease. A step-by-step method is described for taking intraoral radiographs. Use of this process facilitates diagnosis and treatment of dental disease and makes it possible to make a prognosis.

Background: The radiation doses resulting from diagnostic X-ray examinations are routinely measured in terms of entrance surface dose (ESD) and effective dose (ED). In this study, for the purpose of radiation protection, the radiation doses received from Digital chest X-ray examination were evaluated in terms of ESD and ED. Material and Methods: The ED was calculated by using the MCNP ...

The digital revolution is changing the world, and dentistry is no exception. The introduction of a whole range of digital devices (intraoral, extraoral, face scanners and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with low dose radiation) and processing software

While recent advances in radiologic imaging have focused on CT and MRI technology, progress in digital radiographic techniques has also had significant impact on our ability to evaluate cardiothoracic disease. A number of publications have established the improved image quality of digital imaging systems over conventional film techniques [1]. While image quality has clearly improved with digita...

Several different image processing methods are described and discussed. Their applicability to the processing of images from digital radiography equipment is compared. The overall conclusion is that advanced image enhancement methods are beneficial and can improve detectability of flaws in digital radiography images, but that these enhancement methods have to be used carefully, especially in ca...
