Study Notes
Image Quality
- Optimal diagnostic image quality has minimal magnification and distortion.
- Adequate contrast and spatial resolution are key factors for accurate diagnosis.
Principles for Ensuring Image Quality
- Minimizing magnification and distortion is crucial for optimal image quality.
- The distance between the focal spot and the object, as well as the distance between the object and the receptor, affect image quality.
- A parallel relationship between the source, object, and receptor ensures optimal image quality.
- Increased distance between the X-ray source and the receptor improves image quality.
- The X-ray beam should be perpendicular to both the object and the receptor for optimal image quality.
Image Sharpness and Resolution
- Sharpness measures the clarity of boundaries between areas with different radiodensities.
- Spatial resolution refers to the ability of a radiograph to reveal small, closely spaced objects.
- Image sharpness and spatial resolution are interconnected and influenced by geometric variables.
- Optimal sharpness and resolution are dependent on effective optimization of geometric variables.
- Shallow palates, palatal tori, and excessive bony structures can affect sharpness and resolution.
- The dome-shaped surface of the hard palate can limit sharpness and resolution.
- Full mouth radiographs are essential for evaluating the lingual side of impacted and unerupted teeth, especially for canines in the palatal side.
Tube-Shift Technique
- The tube-shift technique, utilizing conventional periapical views, involves the buccal-object rule and Clark's rule.
- SLOB (same lingual, opposite buccal) is a technique that uses the tube shift for localization.
- This technique helps to determine the bucco-lingual position of objects by observing the movement of their images on different radiographs.
- The tube shift technique is valuable for identifying the bucco-lingual position of teeth, particularly when uncertainties exist.
