Traumatic bone cyst is known as a symptomless, radiolucent bony les ion incidentally found during routine radiographic examinations. The main characters of traumatic bone cyst are asymptomatic and unicystic radiolucent bony lesion with vital tooth. This case is a confusing case of a traumatic bone cyst with sudden gingival swelling and appearance like a periapical abscess. After surgical exploration and drainage, clinical and radiographic examination showed bony healing with pulpal vitality preserved after 7 months postoperatively.

A radicular cyst is a slowly-growing epithelial sac lining a pathologic cavity in the bone at the apex of a tooth. Large radicular cyst revealed by radiographic examination almost always appear to involved several teeth. The author observed a 31 year old woman with a labial swelling and palatal mucosal expansion of the maxillary anterior region. Radiographic examination indicated that the lesion extended from the left maxillary lateral incisor to the right lateral incisor. Cyst consisted of tan to gray yellow slightly firm to partly hard plaque like tissue measuring 3.4 x 2.2 x 0.3㎝. The author has treated the cyst by means of enucleation with apicoecomies of the involved teeth except the right central incisor. Recovery proceed satisfactorily and there were no clinical or radiologic signs of recurrence 8 months later.

A 13.5kg, 15-year-old male mongrel dog with anemia, anorexia, vomiting and abdominal distension was referred to the Veterinary Medical Center of the Tokyo University. Radiographic and ultrasonographic findings indicated primary splenic tumor. The tumor was located at body of the spleen, which was surgically removed by splenectomy. Histopathological examination of the mass revealed sarcoma type tumor derived from the mesenchymal origin. The patient was in good health after surgery but suddenly showed abdominal distension on the 3 months after. Radiographic findings indicated abdominal neoplasms. The 2nd operation was performed and removed the recurrent mast but suddenly died on the 4th day. Histopathological examination of the tumor was myxosarcoma.

Hyperdontia or supernumerary teeth without associated syndrome is a rare phenomenon, as supernumerary teeth are usually associated with cleft lip and palate or other syndromes such as Gardner's syndrome, cleidocranial dysplasia, and so on. Five patients with supernumerary teeth visited our department. They had no familial history or other pathology, certain treatment protocols was modified due to the presence of supernumerary teeth. Non-syndromic supernumerary teeth, if asymptomatic, need to have periodical radiographic observation. If they showed no variation as they impacted in the jaw, careful examination is necessary because they may develop into pathological status such as dentigerous cysts. The importance of a precise clinical history and radiographic examination for patients with multiple supernumerary teeth should be emphasized.

This study discussed the validity and necessity of compulsory recording of radiographic examination performed by radiological technologist on patients in medical institutions related to radiation exposure. Also, this study provided reasonable evidence of radiographic examination related medical records can contribute to the improvement of public health. Based on overseas cases of implementing a radiographic examination record system, the essential items to be included in medical record are the exposure date, exposure time, exposure method, exposure conditions that is tube voltage, tube current. Name and license number of the radiological technologist who performed the examination should be include in medical record. It is expected that the medical record of the total amount of radiation exposure per year would be in giving the maximum benefit with the minimum exposure to the medical radiation examination of the patient. In addition, interventional radiography medical record should also include exposure time, type and dose of the contrast medium.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a true osteogenic neoplasm. It is also called as ossifying fibroma or cementify-ing fibroma. Small lesions seldom cause any symptoms and are detected only on radiographic examination. Large lesions result in a painless swelling of the involved bone. In radiographic features the lesion most often is well defined and unilocular. It may appear completely radiolucent, or more often varying degrees of rdiopacity. It is composed of fibrous tissue that contains a variable mixture of bony trabeculae,cementum-like spherules, or both. Treatment of most lesions generally is enucleation of tumor. However, some lesions which have grown large and destroyed considerable bone, may necessitate surgical resection and bone grafting. This case was the bony lesion that was found by accident in patient with mandibular left body and subcondylar fracture. In radiographic examination, there was a mixed radiolucent and radiopaque lesion in mandibular left body area with fracture line. We treated on mandibular left body and subcondylar fracture and enucleated the lesion on the left body area simultaneously. At surgical exploration, the lesion was well demarcated from the surrounding bone, thus permitting relatively easy separation of the tumor from its bony bed. In histopathologic examination, the lesion contained bony trabeculae and cementum-like spherules within a background of cellular fibrous connective tissue. It finally diagnosed as cemento-ossify-ing fibroma from the result of biopsy.

The purpose of this study was to reduce dose while maintaining image quality during digital radiographic examination of paranasal sinus by using the automatic exposure control (AEC) system. The tube voltage was set as six stages that increased by about 10 kVp to 70 kVp, 81 kVp, 90 kVp, 102 kVp, 109 kVp and 117 kVp. And then the AEC system conditions were consisted of 9 setting environments, that change mode of the sensitivity (S200, S400, S800) and the density (+2.5, 0, -2.5). We measured automatically exposed tube current (mAs) under 54 conditions with combined these, and assessed SNR and PSNR through the acquired images. In addition, four radiologists performed a qualitative assessment of the acquired images for each combination on a five-point scale of the Likert. As a result, the lowest dose and the highest values of SNR and PSNR in images with a qualitative assessment more than 4 point were the AEC control factors of 90 kVp, S800, D2.5. We applied this condition to the clinical trial, it showed an effect of 83.1% reduction in exposure radiation dose (mR). Therefore, AEC system could be used as dose reduction technology if it understood and used related regulatory factors and physical characteristics.

Bone destruction was induced experimentally by the insertion of a bit of the arsenic compound into the pulp chambers of the right premolars and the artificial bone defects were produced in the periapical regions of the left premolars in 7 dogs. The serial standardized periapical radiographs using aluminum stepwedge attached to the XCP instruments, and resin bite blocks were taken following insertion of arsenic compound and at 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 24 and 28 days in case of bone destruction and following bone injury and weekly thereafter for a total of 14 weeks in case of bone formation. The errors of the method were determined with error estimators described by the Duinkerke. All radiographs were evaluated by the visual examination after joint evaluation by three dental radiologists and analysed with densitometer. The following results were obtained; 1. Analysis of the bone destruction process 1) The error of the method in estimating two distances proved to be small (S.D. for the measuring error; 0.04㎜, S.D. for the over-all error; 0.06㎜, S.D. for the positioning error; 0.05㎜) 2) The radiographic changes were observed after 7 days in 6 cases, 4 days in 1 case and 10 days in 1 case by the visual examination. 3) Aluminum equivalent values were diminished after 2 days and the diminution of 0.58±0.19㎜ was demanded to be detected by the visual examination. 2. Analysis of the bone formation process 1) The error of the method in estimating two distances proved to be small (S.D. for the measuring error; 0.03㎜, S.D. for the over-all error; 0.04㎜ S.D. for the positioning error; 0.04㎜) 2) The radiographic changes were observed after 2 weeks in 5 cases and 3 weeks in 2 cases by the visual examination. 3) Aluminum equivalent values were increased after 1 week and the increase of 0.45±0.15㎜ was demanded to be detected by the visual examination. 4) Aluminum equivalent values were increased continuously for 7 or 9 weeks but there as only extremely small change after 10 weeks.
