title: Radiovisiography: an initial evaluation.
abstract: An initial evaluation of the latest dental radiographic imaging system, radiovisiography, is reported. Despite limitations in its possible clinical applications and problems inherent within the system design, radiovisiography has been found to be a rapid imaging system capable of producing clinically acceptable periapical images. It is suggested that this system may be of particular value in endodontics and in its present form should be considered as an adjunct rather than as a replacement for conventional intra-oral film. Further studies are now required into recent system modifications which are described.
