Wilhelm Roentgen first discovered X-rays in 1895. Since its introduction the mid-1980s, digital radiography has surpassed traditional screen-film radiography. 2000, more than 75 percent of medical clinics United States have migrated to (DR). In fact, US government ordered that all records be converted digital. Indirect, direct, or semi-direct pictures are types currently available. Forensic rad...

introduction: external root resorption is a clinical problem that often cannot be detected clinically. thus, radiography plays a crucial role in its diagnosis. however, optimal radiographic quality with minimal radiation exposure {2.1 [en] verify english word/phrase choice} is an important factor in selecting the appropriate radiographic technique. the aim of this study was the comparison of ac...

We studied the performance of three computed radiography and three direct radiography systems with regard to the image noise and entrance skin dose based on a chest phantom. Images were obtained with kVp of 100, 110, and 120 and mA settings of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 10. Significant differences of image noise were found in these digital chest radiography systems (P<.0001). Standard deviation was signif...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the conventional and digital radiography in the estimation of working length in mandibular molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty molar teeth were selected and divided into three groups in the basis of canal curves (0-15°, 15-30°, >30°). After the placement of a 15 K-file, radiographs were taken with a conventional film (F-speed) and a digital sen...

introduction: the use of panoramic radiography has shown a remarkable expansion over the past 20 years. accurate positioning and preparation of patients is needed to avoid image distortion. the aim of this study was to evaluate the common errors on panoramic radiographs taken in the radiology department of rasht dental school. materials and methods: the study sample included 390 digital panoram...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess radiographer familiarity and preferences with digital radiography in four teaching hospitals and thereafter make recommendations in line with the migration from screen film to digital radiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS A questionnaire was designed to collect data from either qualified or student radiographers from four teaching hospitals. From t...

  Background: This study has aimed to measure the patient dose in entire spine radiography by EOS system in comparison with the digital radiography. Methods: EOS stereo-radiography was used for frontal and lateral view spine imaging in 41 patients in a prospective analytical study. A calibrated dose area product (DAP) meter was used for calibration of the DAP in EOS system. The accuracy and pr...
