[Efficiency of the Thai processing solution in clinical practice].

Abstract

The project was designed to study the efficiency of the Manual Processing Solution produced by Department of Radiological Technology, Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University. (Product Solution). It was divided into 2 parts. 1) to determine the numbers of satisfactory radiographs that could be produced before degradation of the solution occurred. 2) to compare the diagnostic quality of 150 radiographs processed by the Product Solution and Kodak Solution. It was indicated that in view of 50 radiographs processed during the experiment, the 120 ml. Product solution seem to be capable of processing radiographs of satisfactory quality for five days. Clinical comparison between 150 radiographs developed by the two solutions using difference developing time was indicated equal radiographic quality of both solutions during the developing time between 2-4 minutes.

Conventional radiographs vs digitized radiographs: image quality assessment.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare image quality characteristics of conventional radiographs and their digital counterparts. METHODS: 100 conventional radiographs (E-speed) were used for the evaluation of density and contrast. The radiographs were made using a range of exposures under standardized conditions and were compared with digital images that resulted from scanning the above radiographs with a commercially available scanner. Resolution was evaluated with an experiment using 50 film packets and a resolution target exposed with different exposure times, using both the original radiographs and their scanned equivalents. RESULTS: The digitized radiographs appeared to be of higher density than the conventional ones. Moreover, they demonstrated a narrower density range. Resolution was similar for both types of images. CONCLUSIONS: Although there is an agreement with the literature that the digitized radiographs are of higher density, further investigation is required to detect the various factors that may have an effect on the quality of the digitized images.

The chairside developer and the making of an inexpensive unit.

A chairside developer using rapid developer/fixer solutions is an indispensible aid for the veterinary dental practitioner. These units can be expensive. This "light-hearted cowboy" article describes how to construct a chairside dental film developer using inexpensive materials.
