Radiat Prot Dosimetry
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Bitewing examinations are critical for assessing pediatric dental health, and this study compared the radiation dose and image quality of two X-ray systems: Trophy CCX (TCCX) and Planmeca Pro X (PPX).
- Data was collected from both real patient exams and artificial models, with experienced dentists blind-evaluating the images for quality while assessing radiation exposure using a dosimeter.
- Results showed that TCCX provided higher-quality images but at a significantly increased radiation dose compared to PPX, suggesting a trade-off between image clarity and patient safety.
Apparent diffusion coefficient measurement of the parotid gland parenchyma.
Quant Imaging Med Surg
August 2021
The measurements of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is becoming a popular diagnostic and research tool for examination of parotid glands. However, there is little agreement between the reported ADC values of the parotid gland in published literature. In this review 43 studies on ADC measurement of the parotid glands were included.
