The paper presents techniques of dental filming and an apparatus for its performance, which has the following parameters, voltage, 55 kV; current, 0.1 mA; exposure, 1 sec.
The paper presents the techniques of dental microfocal X-ray study during which the exposure is no greater than 0.1 mAs.
The paper describes the features of image capture with microfocus X-ray technologies in medical diagnostics, including the main reason of decreasing radiation doses received by different bone structures of patients.
Specific features of imaging with microfocal X-ray technologies in medical diagnosis are described. In particular, the principal cause of the decrease in the radiation doses received by patients with different bone structure is discussed.
A qualitative explanation and quantitative estimation of the decrease in the radiation dose received by patient during microfocal X-ray diagnostic examination are presented. The change in the image contrast with increasing X-ray tube voltage is described.
Experience in the use of PARDUS X-ray diagnostic apparatuses for intraoral roentgenography of maxillodental system is described. A method providing better uniformity of amplification in roentgenographic images of maxillodental system is suggested.
A technique for microfocal X-raying is proposed. This technique makes it possible to use screen-X-ray films. Exposure for aimed shot should not exceed 0.1 mAsec.
The method suggested in this work uses spectral dependences of X-ray radiation intensity. The obtained theoretical dependences of attenuation factors coincide with the experimental values with an accuracy of 1-3%. The suggested technique makes it possible to determine the absorbed and exposure doses of radiation. It also provides determination of contrast of a shadow X-ray image.
The paper outlines two portable microfocal X-ray medical diagnostic devices which have a designing principle in common. The basic features of the devices are as follows: a thin long fight-path tube at whose end there is a massive or shooting target, a three-electrode electron gun, a private-line tungsten loop-shaped cathode, and a magnetic focusing system.
