Radiovisiography--a preliminary subjective assessment in a hospital paediatric dentistry department.
Recent reports on radiovisiography (RVG) have concentrated mainly on the physical characteristics of this relatively new, digital imaging dental radiographic technique. This paper reports a preliminary assessment of the Mark 2 mobile system in routine use in a hospital paediatric dentistry department. The evaluation encompassed patient acceptability, ease of operation and the clinicians' subjective assessments of the images obtained. It was concluded that RVG is, in general, an acceptable alternative to conventional intra-oral radiography.
