radiograph The 'untrained eye' may see below standard radiographs and the person may conclude that well, but then reach erroneous conclusion that radiographic quality is subjective anyway. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.

There are several highly objective characteristics that all come together in a nice synergistic fashion to yield the ideal radiograph. In our new course, Excellence in Oral Radiography, Dr. Jeffrey Price will review in a proven, repeatable fashion how to obtain clinically excellent radiographs in an accurately reliable manner. This course consists of four lessons that cover the following topics:

Lesson 1: Criteria for achieving diagnostically acceptable images

Lesson 2: Characteristics of excellent periapical radiographs

Lesson 3: Characteristics of excellent bitewing radiographs

Lesson 4: Characteristics of excellent panoramic radiographs

After viewing this course on radiographs, you'll have a better understanding of:



  • Diagnostically acceptable radiographs

  • Preventing distortion through correct angulation

  • Optimal density and contrast with proper exposure settings
