The Right Angle- / Paralleling Technique

The dental-medical x-ray diagnostics demands fully detailled radiographs respecting at the same time specified dose limits for providing optimal radiation protection. High information value of the radiographs and the exact reproduction are the basic requirements for an exact diagnosis and follow-up examinations. Therefore quality standards regarding radiographs cannot be high enough. Considering the nowadays available technology, as a general rule, the quality of a radiograph is substantially affected not by insufficient appliance technology or materials but by incorrect positioning and film processing. According to experience fully detailed radiographs with high information value are only possible by using the Right Angle-/ Paralleling Technique.
