Abstract

- Objective: The objective of the present study was to study the effect of adaptive image processing on the visibility of anatomical structures in storage phosphor plate (SPP) panoramic images. Materials and methods: Three hundred SPP panoramic X-ray radiographs of children and adolescents were used. The radiographs were post-processed using general operator processor (GOP) technology, resulting in both a standard-processed and a GOP-processed radiograph. Four specialists in dental radiology compared the structural image quality of all standard-processed and GOP-processed panorama images for six anatomical structures, using a six-point scale for visual grading characteristics (VGC) analysis. Results: For three of the anatomic structures - the root canal space of the mandibular left first premolar, mandibular canal left side and periodontal ligament space of the mandibular right first molar - there was a statistically significant difference to the GOP's advantage. For the three remaining structures - dentino-enamel junction of the maxillary right first molar, crista alveolaris of the mandibular left molar area and floor of maxillary sinus right side - no significant difference between standard processing and GOP processing was obtained. Conclusions: The study demonstrates that it is possible to improve the quality of SPP radiographs and the visibility of anatomical structures by using the GOP technique. Manufacturers' image-processing programs can be further developed, as there is a possibility of improving the diagnostic content of an image with external processing.
