Patient and film positioning errors along with correction strategies - Faulty radiograph part 1

-

             FAULTY RADIOGRAPH

ARTIFACT :Unwanted density on the radiograpgh that interfere diagnosis.

I)PATIENT AND FILM POSITIONING ERROR:

FORESHORTENING:

Reasons : increased vertical angulation 
correction: angulation maintained to the teeth

ELONGATION:
reasons:decreased verical angulation
correction:angulation to be maintained to respect to teeth



CORONAL END CUT:
reasons: film not placed sufficient coronally 
correction:proper placement of film coronally


APICAL END CUT:
reasons:film not placed sufficient apically
correction:proper placement of film apically








CONE CUT:
reasons:improper placement of film,improper tube head position 
correction:proper placement of film ,tube head 

OVERLAPPING:
reasons:improper horizontal angulation of tube head 
correction:proper anugulation horizontal :0








WRONG SIDE IDENTIFICATION DOT/DOT ARTEFACT:
reason:wrong placement of film 
correction:dot to be placed towards occlusal surface 

FOREIGN BODY :
reason:exposure of film with nose ring/ear ring
correction:remove all ornaments before exposure


HERRING BONE PATTERN /TIRE TRACK APPERANCE :
reason:lead foil placed toward cone (x-ray tube)
correction:lead foil side should be placed away from cone 








PHALANGIOMA:
reason:use of finger for sterilization of ilm 
correction:use film holder

BLURRED IMAGE:
reason:movement of film ,patient ,tube head during exposure 
correction:use of film holder
do ask patient to not move 
proper stabilisation of tube head before exposure



DOUBLE IMAGE:
reason:twice exposure of film 
correction:pace exposed filmin separate box

HELLO! DOCTOR VANAKAM, I hope you all are doing good today we will be discussing sterilization various methods of sterilization, about dry heat sterilization and moist heat sterilization along with different methods employed, and what are the materials to be placed in this method in detail about autoclave its principle, working and of course uses. As I have had already informed you all through my previous post on the contribution of Louis Pasteur and Koch postulates if we haven't checked it out yet do check it out using this link   https://www.stencildent.com/2020/07/contributions-of-louis-pasteur-and-koch.html  wherein I would explain the importance for the need of the HOUR and always to sterilize things to and from the patients and also get geared up for the next post on SHOCK wherein I would cover the definition, types, classification along with etiology, pathogenesis, flow chart, the complication of septic shock in detail so now without any further ado lets get started.

                          HYPERSENSITIVITY   hello, doctor vanakam, I hope you all are doing good, as intimated through the last post on anaerobic culture method  https://www.stencildent.com/2020/08/anaerobic-culture-methods-microbiology.html  if u haven't checked it out do read using this link without any further ado lets get started. CONTENTS: 1)Definition 2)Classification 3)type 1 hypersensitivity reaction a)1st exposure b)2nd exposure c)mediators of reaction d)late-phase reaction 4)type 4 hypersensitivity 5)treatment  1)DEFINITION: It refers to a condition in which immune response results in excessive reaction leading to tissue damage, disease, or even death in a sensitised host. 2) CLASSIFICATION: Coomb and gel classification in 1963 into type 1 to 4  Type 1,    type 2, type 3       : They depend on the interaction of antigen with humoral antibodies They are the immediate-type reaction  type 4 : They are mediated by t lymphocyte Delayed-type of hypersensitive reaction 3)TYPE 1
