title: Frequency of artifacts with xeroradiography using artifact-reduction techniques.
abstract: Artifact-reduction techniques applied to intraoral xeroradiography have reduced the overall artifact level by 56.4% and the single-image retake rate from 17.4% to 11.3%. Nevertheless, the frequency of xeroradiography artifacts is greater than for intraoral film radiography, whether using manual processing (1.8% retake rate) or automatic processing (3.4% retake rate). Methods to identify and prevent xeroradiographic image artifacts are discussed in detail.
