Lingual foramen of the mandible
,...A small radiolucent dot inferior to the apices of the mandibular incisors.
Below CENTRALS, appears as a small radiolucent circle directly inferior to
the central incisors.
Mental foramen of mandible bone
Its the lateral aspect that allows nerves to pass to the chin and lip. holes
in chin. appears as a round to oval radiolucent area seen near the apex of
the second PREMOLAR.
(blocked out in red on picture)
Maxillary sinus
sinus on either side of the nasal cavity below the eyes. The maxillary sinus
appears as a radiolucent area superior and medial to the border of the
maxillary sinus.
Mental ridge
A thick radiopaque band that extends from the premolar region to the
incisor region. Appears as two oblique thick radiopaque bands that that
meet in the midline giving it the appearance of an inverted V or triangle
shape
, Incisive foramen
appears as a round to ovoid radiolucent area between the roots of the
maxillary central incisors.
To change the magnification on a radiograph, you would increase/decrease
Target Film Distance
Tungsten target
plate of tungsten, which serves as a focal spot and converts bombarding
electrons into x-ray photons
Lead diaphragm
Restricts size of x-ray beam
What type of extra oral x ray evaluates the patient's facial profile and soft
tissue?
Cephalomeric
Primary radiation
The most penetrating beam produced at the target of the anode
Secondary radiation
Less penetrating than primary radiation
Scatter radiation
Secondary radiation: commonly called scatter radiation, it is caused by
interaction of the primary beam with objects in its path
Density
The overall darkness or blackness of an image
Contrast
the difference in brightness between the light and dark areas of an image
High contrast
many black and white areas, few shades of gray
Low contrast
