This article describes a study that compared the sensitometric properties and information yields of four dental X-ray films: Eastman Kodak Ultra-Speed DF-57 and Ektaspeed EP-21, Flow DV-58 and Agfa Gevaert Dentus M2 Comfort. Dentus M2 Comfort gave the greatest contrast, a speed between the conventional D- and E-speed film groups and an exposure latitude wider than Ultra-Speed but less than DV-58. A significant difference in detail was found with low exposures, Dentus M2 Comfort and Ektaspeed outperforming the other two film types.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).

D015502 Absorptiometry, Photon A noninvasive method for assessing BODY COMPOSITION. It is based on the differential absorption of X-RAYS (or GAMMA RAYS) by different tissues such as bone, fat and other soft tissues. The source of (X-ray or gamma-ray) photon beam is generated either from radioisotopes such as GADOLINIUM 153, IODINE 125, or Americanium 241 which emit GAMMA RAYS in the appropriate range; or from an X-ray tube which produces X-RAYS in the desired range. It is primarily used for quantitating BONE MINERAL CONTENT, especially for the diagnosis of OSTEOPOROSIS, and also in measuring BONE MINERALIZATION.
