| Abstract | ||
| To assess the subjective image quality in digital panoramic radiograph, when the tube current level (mA) is reduced. By Dimax 3 digital planmeca x-ray machine two digital panoramic projections can obtained for a dry skull , the first projections was performed at standard exposure setting , the tube current level (mA) was reduced in the second exposure by 25% , 50% , and 75% respectively . 10 observers evaluated both projections for the anatomical landmarks which are commonly appearing in the panoramic radiograph. Radiographs taken at the reduced (mA) level of 75% had highly statistically significant inferior score P<0.0001 for anatomical details. At reduced tube current level (mA), radiographs had inferior subjective image quality, but a reduction in tube current level (mA) of approximately 50% is accepted. | ||
