background: comparing continuous films taken at different timescales is a way to study the alveolar bone changes around the implant over time. one of the important concerns in quantitative analysis of the alveolar bone changes over the time is to reduce variations in the x-ray imaging geometry and image density. methods: using a modified xcp film holder together with the bite recording material...

Twenty involved hips in 16 patients with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCP) were studied with both plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to better evaluate the existence of "metaphyseal" changes. Thirty-four sets of radiographs and MRI scans were reviewed in a blinded fashion and compared for the presence and location of these changes. Of 23 hips with plain radiographic met...

The accurate assessment of compartmental involvement in degenerative arthritis of the knee is important when planning operative treatment. Standard radiographic techniques often fail to define the degree of involvement of the less affected tibiofemoral compartment. The use of stress radiography in the preoperative assessment of 30 knees with degenerative arthritis is described and the radiograp...

This study involves the evaluation of pre-purchase radiographic studies of South African Thoroughbred yearlings. Radiographic changes were recorded and compared with similar international studies. The study differs from other studies in that a lower prevalence of pedal osteitis (1.26%), dorsal osteochondral fragmentation of the metatarsophalangeal joint (1.60%), distal metacarpal sagittal ridge...
