panoramic radiography การใช้

• Research has shown that panoramic radiography is similar to computed tomography in its diagnostic accuracy for mandible fractures and both are more accurate than plain film radiograph.
• Writing in The Journal of the American Dental Association, researchers from the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System said the changes were easily noticeable in images captured through panoramic radiography.
• The indications to use CT for mandible fracture vary by region, but it does not seem to add to diagnosis or treatment planning except for comminuted or avulsive type fractures, although, there is better clinician agreement on the location and absence of fractures with CT compared to panoramic radiography.
