| periapical radiograph | A radiograph demonstrating tooth apices and surrounding structures in a particular intraoral area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| scout radiograph | A radiograph exposed before contrast medium is given, such as the preliminary film for an angiogram, urogram, or barium contrast gastrointestinal examination. Synonym: scout radiograph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| submental vertex radiograph | A radiographic projection showing the base of the skull, positions of the mandibular condyles, and zygomatic arches. Synonym: base view, submental vertex radiograph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| submentovertex radiograph | A radiographic projection showing the base of the skull, positions of the mandibular condyles, and zygomatic arches. Synonym: base view, submental vertex radiograph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| decubitus radiograph | A radiograph of a recumbent subject on his side, made in the frontal projection with a horizontal X-ray beam. Synonym: lateral decubitus radiograph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occlusal radiograph | <dentistry> The only X-ray that is taken without an X-ray holder. The X-ray film for this procedure is shaped like a large biscuit and the patient is asked to bite on the X-ray film and the top of the X-ray machine is positioned over your nose for a maxillary occlusal X-ray or under your chin for a mandibular occlusal film. The X-ray displays the entire arch. (08 Jan 1998) |
| transcranial radiograph | A radiographic view of the temporomandibular articulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Trendelenburg radiograph | Radiograph of a subject tilted head downwards, usually in the decubitus position; used to detect small pleural effusions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral decubitus radiograph | A radiograph of a recumbent subject on his side, made in the frontal projection with a horizontal X-ray beam. Synonym: lateral decubitus radiograph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral oblique radiograph | A radiographic view of the mandible, revealing one side of the mandible from symphysis to condyle by displacing the other side upwards. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral ramus radiograph | A radiographic view of the mandibular ramus and condyle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral skull radiograph | A true lateral projection radiograph of facial bones and calvarium, showing bone structures and air-containing passages. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteroposterior projection | The alternative frontal radiographic projection, used mainly in bedside or portable radiography. Synonym: anteroposterior projection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical lordotic projection | In computed tomography or other imaging techniques requiring reconstruction from multiple projections, an algorithm for calculating the contribution of each voxel of the structure to the measured ray data, in order to generate an image; the oldest and simplest method of image reconstruction. Synonym: apical lordotic projection. (05 Mar 2000) |
