Two hundred and eighteen bi-rooted niaxillar\' premolars were examined radiogra]3hicall\' to determine the length from the apex at which root curvature occurred. The information may serve as a guide in determining ]:)ost preparation length. T h e result.s of the study indicated that the lingual root was slightly straighter than the buecal root. 'I'lie curvature of the root was on the average 6....

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The purpose of this study was to identify patients at the risk of cerebrovascular attack (CVA) by detecting calcified carotid artery atheroma (CCAA) in panoramic radiography and evaluating their risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 960 panoramic radiographs of patients above 40 years old were evaluated. Doppler Sonography (DS) was performed for patients who showe...

cemento-ossifying fibroma (cof) is a rare benign fibro-osseous tumor. the radiographic and clini cal features of this lesion are unpredictable and variable. in this report, the patient was a 12-year old girl with a painless swelling which demon strated an opaque lesion with radiolucent zone to involve left posterior portion of the mandible on panoramic radiography. the radiographic manife stati...

index of 50 was admitted to our intensive care unit with the clinical appearance of severe biliary pancreatitis. Bedside ultra− sonography was difficult due to the pa− tient’s obesity but revealed a dilated common bile duct (l" Fig. 1). Convention− al endoscopic retrograde cholangiogra− phy (ERC) with X−rays was considered impossible due to the obesity. Bedside endosonography (EG 383OUT; Pentax...

Dear Editor, The selection of appropriate diagnostic techniques is an important step in the treatment of disease. An optimal diagnostic method can provide essential information, while minimizing cost and harm to patients. In dental radiography , attempts have been made to reduce patient exposure to radiation. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital radiography were developed to achieve...

A male infant weighing 5 lb. 7 oz. (2-49 kg.) was delivered spontaneously after a normal labour. He was the mother's second child; the pregnancy was uneventful and labour began at term. At birth the infant was pale and respirations were laboured. A few hours after delivery he vomited about 2 ml. of altered blood and was therefore given 10 mg. of vitamin K intramuscularly.
