title: The application of xeroradiography in diagnosis of maxillofacial problems.
abstract: The evaluation of maxillofacial pathology was undertaken using xeroradiography. The edge enhancement and wide image latitude were shown to give additional information, especially in areas of bony overlap, such as the temporomandibular joint, without resorting to tomography. Other areas of possible utilization are also discussed, including sialography.
