Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate how image magnification in dental panoramic radiography is influenced by object position. Five metal balls (4 mm in diameter, 2 for the anterior and 3 for the posterior region on the right side) were placed above alveolar crest of dry skull considering extraction socket and dental arch. Dry skull was radiographed using OP-100D (Instrumentarium Imaging Co., Tuusula, Finland) at proper and displaced position along the sagittal and transverse plane at 3 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm and 15 mm using special mount which can control precise movement. Images were stored in DICOM files and were measured by ruler equipped within INFINITT PACS software (Infinitt Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea). The mean horizontal magnification was 1.224-1.439 and mean vertical magnification was 1.286 - 1.345 at proper position. Vertical magnification resulted in less variation (1.245-1.418) than horizontal magnification (0.798-6.297) according to the sagittal and transverse displacements. Head positioning is important for linear measurement on panoramic radiography and inclusion of standard object (for instance, metal ball) is helpful to anticipate exact magnification of panoramic radiographs at various location.

이 연구의 목적은 환자의 머리 위치에 따른 파노라마방사선사진의 수평 및 수직 확대율을 비교 평가하는 것이었다. 직경 4 mm인 금속구를 건조 두개골의 하악 전치부와 우측 대구치부의 치조골 상방에 위치시켰다. 수평 및 수직적 위치의 변화를 재현하기 위해 수직, 수평 이동량을 조절할 수 있는 두개골 고정장치를 이용하여, 전방, 후방, 좌측 및 우측으로 이동시킨 후 파노라마방사선사진을 OP-100D를 이용하여 획득하였다. 촬영된 영상은 DICOM 형식으로 저장되었고, INFINITT PACS software를 이용하여 금속구의 폭과 높이의 평균값을 구하였다. 적절한 위치에서 촬영된 파노라마방사선사진에서 금속구의 수평 확대율은 1.224-1.439였고, 수직 확대율은 1.286-1.345였다. 건조 두개골의 위치 변화에 따른 수평 확대율은 0.798-6.297로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보인 반면(P<0.05), 수직 확대율은 1.245-1.418 정도로 수평 확대율에 비해 차이를 보이지 않았다.
