X-ray Imaging

X-ray Imaging

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
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...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Persistent cone cuts in dental radiography can be resolved by addressing X-ray machine issues. Simple adjustments like tapping the collimator or repositioning the position indicating device (PID) can eliminate these common radiographic errors.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Radiology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Radiographic errors, such as partial images or cone cuts, are common in routine dental radiography.
Persistent cone cuts can be a source of frustration for dental practitioners, impacting diagnostic quality.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify the origin of persistent cone cut errors in dental radiography.
To provide solutions for eliminating cone cut errors encountered during intraoral X-ray procedures.

Main Methods:

The study utilized two different intraoral X-ray machines.
Four No. 2 intraoral films were used in conjunction with 12-inch length position indicating devices (PIDs).

Main Results:

The origin of cone cut errors was investigated in relation to the X-ray machine and its components.
Solutions were identified for resolving cone cuts originating from the X-ray machine.

Conclusions:

Cone cut errors in dental radiography can stem from the X-ray machine itself.
Tapping the collimator or repositioning the position indicating device (PID) are effective methods for correcting cone cuts.
