Assessment of screen/film combinations for cephalometric radiography.
Six different intensifying screen/film combinations were used to produce cephalometric radiographs of a tissue equivalent phantom skull. The adequacy of the films was assessed by seven orthodontists on two occasions. There was a low intra- and interobserver correlation. A more objective and reproducible method is required to evaluate intensifying screen/film combinations for cephalometric radiography.
