title: [Initial experience with digital luminescence radiography in the radiological diagnosis of the visceral cranium].
abstract: The purpose of this study was the evaluation of digital luminescence radiography (PCR; Philips Computed Radiography) used in routine radiological analysis of the facial skull. Besides the standard radiographs additional PCR shots were taken in 16 cases. The subjective evaluation was carried out by three different people using clinical criteria. PCR films showed a significant advantage compared to standard radiographs for the above mentioned applications.
