A Standardized Approach to Extra-Oral and Intra-Oral Digital Photography
Published on: July 22, 2022
Abstract:
Radiation dose has been and continues to be the topic of mainstream media. Radiation accidents specific to ionizing radiation have prompted significant changes in legislation and prompted The Joint Commission to issue a Sentinel Event Alert, issue 47. Radiology professionals at every level have the opportunity to be better informed about the use of digital equipment in order to maximize image quality and minimize patient dose. Optimum kV's and lower mAs are discussed, as well as exposure index numbers and legal risk of post image digital processing. Overexposure of a patient is possible with no warning signs even with a diagnostic quality image. Exposure techniques, which were tested on anatomical phantoms provided by the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula in California, established the foundation to develop universal digital technique charts.

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...
