  • Title: The quality of the X-ray image: fault analysis.
    Author: Brocklebank LM.
    Journal: Dent Update; 1998 Jun; 25(5):188-90, 192-4. PubMed ID: 18170953.
    Abstract:
    Current guidelines encourage dentists to assess the quality of the radiographs that they take as a normal part of their routine, and peer review is recommended on a regular basis. Technical faults or processing errors may result in unsatisfactory diagnostic images. In order to rectify such faults and to prevent their recurrence it is vital that the practitioner is able to recognize them and determine their cause. This article proposes a user-friendly approach to recognition of technical (procedural) faults, and gives advice on their prevention.
