A practical approach to direct magnification radiography.
The focus of this article is the diagnostic accuracy and performance of direct magnification utilizing conventional radiographic equipment. Although in the past magnification radiography has been used primarily for the detection of arthritic erosion, the practicality of a new system has increased its use for the detection and/or evaluation of soft tissue and bone lesions, as well as follow-up examination of prosthetic placements.
