The transcranial radiograph. The diagnostic difference between 'corrected' vs 'uncorrected' films
Abstract:
This article explains the advantages and limitations of the transcranial radiograph. The use of the Submental Vertex Radiograph to obtain the proper angulation of the central ray of the x-ray beam is covered in a step by step manner. It goes on to explain the difference between "Corrected" and "Uncorrected" films. It is the author's hope that this article will help improve the practitioners in-office radiographic technique through the use of the TCD and corrected transcranials, thus improving the diagnostic information he obtains. This will lead to more appropriate therapy for the orthopedic/orthodontic and the Temporomandibular Dysfunction patient.

Computed Tomography
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...

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...
