[Digital image processing in dental radiology].
Advanced technological progress facilitates the feasibility of computer aided radiodiagnosis in dental practice. It is possible to obtain more information from radiography without increasing the radiation dose. Radiographic images will no longer be made on conventional films, but are recorded digitally by means of an electronic receptor. Many applications of this technology regarding archiving, interpretation, reconstruction, and transmission of radiographic images already have been demonstrated in the laboratory environment. The required software is expected to be available for the general practitioner in the near future.
