Purpose: To compare the copper equivalent values measured at premolar and molar areas in the copper equivalent images of panoramic and intraoral radiographs and to evaluate the possibility of the copper equivalent images of panorama for the assessment the bone density. Materials and Methods : Intraoral radiograms at mandibular premolar and molar area and panoramas of 6 human dry skulls were taken with copper-step wedge by Heliodent MD (Siemens Co., Germany) and by Planmeca (PM 2002 CC, Planmeca, Helsinki, Finland) were used for experiment. The copper equivalent values measured at premolar and molar areas in the copper equivalent im ages of panorama and intraoral film were compared. Results: The copper equivalent values were ranged 0.20 mmCu-0.44 mmCu at the molar areas, 0.05 mmCu-0.31 mmCu at the premolar areas on panoramic images. There were no significant differences (p>0.5) between the copper equivalent values on intraoral images and those on panoramic images measured at premolar areas and molar areas respectively. The correlation coefficient between the copper equivalent values on intraoral images and those on panoramic images was respectively 0.8495 at molar areas and 0.6184 at premolar areas. Conclusions : The copper equivalent images of panorama for the assessment the bone density appeared to be significant at molar area compared with the one of intraoral radiograph.

Purpose : To evaluate the use of the vertical tube shift from a panoramic film and a periapical film to localize unerupted maxillary incisors and supernumeraries. Materials and Methods : The total of 103 displaced maxillary incisors or embedded supernumeraries were examined in this study. The vertical tube shift technique with panoramic and periapical radiography by normal projection taken and compared to localize the position of the embedded maxillary incisors or supernumeraries by a radiologist and 5 general dentists. The gold standard used for the radiographic comparisons was the true position of the embedded tooth as confirmed by horizontal tube shift technique using three periapical radiographs. The general dentist examiners were instructed on the use of the modified acronym 'SLDOBU' by the radiologist as it pertains to panoramic radiographs as the principle of vertical tube shift. Results: All of the embedded maxillary incisors and supernumeraries were successfully located using the vertical tube shift from a panoramic and a maxillary anterior periapical radiograph by the radiologist and 5 general dentists. Conclusion: The use of a panoramic film with a periapical film combination for a vertical tube shift can be useful to localize unerupted maxillary incisors and supernumeraries.

파노라마 영상은 카메라와 같은 영상 획득 장비로 얻는 단일 영상과 비교해 사용자 주위의 장면에 대한 보다 넓은 시야를 제공한다. 또한 단일 영상과 비교하여 사용자에게 사실감뿐만 아니라 보다 큰 몰입감을 제공한다는 점에서 큰 의미를 갖는다. 큐브 파노라마 영상은 Top, Bottom, Right, Left로 회전시키면서 확대, 축소가 가능한 상태로 입체적인 접근 방법을 제공하지만, 파노라마 영상의 제작을 위하여 상용 소프트웨어가 필요하며 파노라마 VR의 표현에 있어서 제작 기술의 제한된 상황으로 Top과 Bottom의 표현이 왜곡되어 나타날 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 좌우상하 방향으로 입체적인 접근이 가능하게 하는 큐브 파노라마 가상현실 공간 구성을 위하여 별도의 상용 소프트웨어 없이도 Top과 Bottom의 표현을 자연스럽게 하도록 Apple QuickTimeVR의 새로운 큐브 타입 데이터 형식을 이용하여 큐브 파노라마 가상현실 공간을 구성하고자 한다.

Purpose : This study was conducted to compare the radiomorphometric indices of the mandible on panoramic radiographs among three groups of normal, osteopenia and osteoporosis and to determine whether panoramic indices have validity in predicting osteoporotic risk. Materials and Methods: Ninty-four postmenupausal women aged 42-72 years (mean 62±7.5) were examined using dual energy X-ray absorptionmetry (DEXA) of the lumbar and classified into three groups by WHO classification. Panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mandibular cortical thickness (Mental index (MI), Antegonial index (AI), Gonial index (G!)) and the mandibular cortical index (MCI) were measured bilaterally on panoramic radiographs and analyzed. Results: There were signigicant differences among normal, osteopenic and osteoporoti groups in PMI (I), PMI (S), MI, AI, GI and MCI. The sensitivities of the MCI (93%) and the combination index of MCI and MI (90%) in diagnosing osteopenic/osteoporotic cases were high. Conclusion: The widths and shapes of the mandibular cortical bone on panoramic radiography may highly reflect the systemic osteopenic/osteoporotic conditions of the patients.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of panoramic radiographs for detection of mandibular fractures. Materials and Methods : The sample was comprised of 65 patients (55 fractured, 10 non-fractured) with 92 fracture sites confirmed by multi-detector computed tomography (CT). Panoramic radiographs were evaluated for mandibular fractures by six examiners; two oral & maxillofacial radiologists (observer A&B), two oral & maxillofacial surgeons (observer C&D), and two general dentists (observer E&F). Results : Sensitivity of panoramic radiography for mandibular fractures was 95.7% in observer A&B, 93.5% in observer C&D and 80.4% in observer E&F. The lowest sensitivity was shown in symphyseal/parasymphyseal areas, followed by subcondylar/condylar regions. Conclusion : Panoramic radiography is adequate for detection of mandibular fractures. However, additional multidetector CT is recommended to ascertain some indecisive fractures of symphysis and condyle, and in complicated fractures.

Clinical examination, photometric evaluation, & radiographic analysis have been used to evaluate the asymmetry of the face. Commonly used skull radiographs to assess skeletal asymmetry include poatero-anterior cephalometries, submentovertex view, & panoramic view. The purpose of this study is the comparison of the reliance of the postero-anterior cephalometric view, submentovertex view, & panoramic view in the asymmetry evaluation. All measurements were performed on the each radiographs of 31 control group & 30 asymmetric group. The measurements are MSL(midsagittal plane)-Co, MSL-Go, MSL-Me, MSL-Al, MSL-Bl, Mn. Ramus Height(Co-Go), Mn. Body Length(Go-Me), and Total Mn. Length(Co-Me). The results were as follows: 1. The lack of either a right-sided or left-sided asymmetric dominant was found. 2. The postero-anterior cephalometric view & submentovertex view relatively agreed with each other in the result. The postero-anterior cephalometric view & submentovertex view had the clinical reliability & effectiveness in the diagnosis of the skeletal asymmetry(p<0.05). 3. The panoramic view showed more magnification compared to the other radiographs. In the vertical measurements the panoramic view had clinical reliability relatively(p<0.05). But we cannot rely on the horizontal measurements in the panoramic view(p>0.05).

Professionals performing radiographic examinations are responsible for maintaining optimal image quality for accurate diagnoses. These professionals must competently execute techniques such as film manipulation and processing to minimize patient exposure to radiation. Improper performance by the professional and/or patient may result in a radiographic image of unsatisfactory quality that can also lead to a misdiagnosis and the development of an inadequate treatment plan. Currently, the most commonly performed extraoral examination is panoramic radiography. The invention of panoramic radiography has resulted in improvements in image quality with decreased exposure to radiation and at a low cost. However, this technique requires careful, accurate positioning of the patient's teeth and surrounding maxillofacial bone structure within the focal trough. Therefore, we reviewed the literature for the most common types of positioning errors in panoramic radiography to suggest the correct techniques. We would also discuss how to determine if the most common positioning errors occurred in panoramic radiography, such as in the positioning of the patient's head, tongue, chin, or body.

Purpose: To evaluate the difference of the movement of the mandibular condyles between trans cranial and panoramic TMJ radiographs to view the movement of the mandibular condyles. Materials and Methods: Thirty-four paired transcranial and panoramic TMJ radiographs of patients were used to evaluate the movement of the mandibular condyle. The distances, from the most superior point of the mandibular condyle to the most inferior point of the articular eminence on both radiographs, were measured. The measurements were taken at closed state and maximum opening state of each radiograph on both side. Differences between matched pairs were analysed by paired t-test, with significance established at P<0.05. Results and Conclusion: The mean distance, from the most superior point of the mandibular condyle to the most inferior point of the articular eminence on both radiographs, was statistically different at each side (P<0.05). At closing state, the mean distance measured on panoramic TMJ radiographs was longer than on transcranial radio-graphs (0.85 mm at right side, 1.20 mm at left side). But at maximum opening state, the mean distance on transcranial radiographs was longer (1.00 mm at right side, 0.62 mm at left side) than panoramic TMJ radiographs.

구면 파노라마 영상에서는 심한 구면 왜곡으로 인하여 기존의 평면 패턴의 탐색 방법인 SURF가 올바르게 작동되지 않는다. 평면 패턴은 구면 영상에서 왜곡되어 나타나므로 구면 파노라마 영상에서의 패턴 탐색 및 다른 텍스처로의 대치는 평면 영상의 경우와 다르게 처리되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 구면 파노라마 영상을 큐브맵 영상으로 변환하고 구면 왜곡이 제거된 평면 영상에서 SURF를 사용하여 패턴을 탐색하고 해당 평면 텍스처를 대치한 후 다시 구면 파노라마 영상으로 변환하는 구면 파노라마 영상에서의 평면 대치 방법을 제안한다.
