Abstract:
This in vitro study compared the results of clinical examination (abbreviation CE) and the three radiological methods (i.e RVG-radiovisiography) on occlusal and proximal caries diagnosis,using pathological observation as the final standard.The results are:on occlusal caries diagnosis,CE provide the most accordant result to the pathological result.There are statistically significant differences between SR and CE,BW and CE.1st suggests that to occlusal caries diagnosis,CE is still a convenient and efficient way.On proximal caries diagnosis,there are statistically significant differences between SR and CE,BW and CE.BW has the most coincident result with pathological one.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
