Abstract:
Objective: The objective of the present study was to study the effect of adaptive image processing (GOP processing) on the visibility of anatomical structures in direct digital panoramic images. Material and methods: The study comprised panoramic images of 50 consecutive adult individuals aged 18-60 years. Nine dentists working with dental radiology compared the structural image quality of all standard-processed and GOP-processed panoramic images for six anatomical structures, using a six-point scale for visual grading characteristics analysis. Results: For all anatomic structures a statistically significant difference in favour of the GOP was found. Conclusions: The present study shows that it is possible to improve perceived diagnostic image quality of direct digital panoramic radiography using GOP technology compared to the manufacturers' standard processing. Manufacturers' image-processing programs can be further developed, as there is a possibility of improving the perceived diagnostic content of an image with external processing.
