  2. Diagnosis vs. Interpretation

  3. Normal Radiographic Appearances Diagnosis is the responsibility of the clinician caring for the patient.

  4. Normal Radiographic Appearances Interpretation is the result of evaluation of specific circumscribed tests or investigative procedures, such as radiology, and may be carried out by a specialist or the clinician caring for the patient.

  5. Normal Radiographic Appearances Diagnosis (dia: through; gnosis: knowledge) is the result of gathering knowledge via the history, clinical examination, and any other investigative procedures that are deemed necessary.

  6. Normal Radiographic Appearances It is possible that the radiologic interpretation may seem to provide all of the information that is needed for the diagnosis...

  7. Normal Radiographic Appearances …but it must still be correlated with the clinical findings before a diagnosis is made.

  8. Normal Radiographic Appearances Terminology is of importance. It will guide us in organizing our thoughts, allow us to search for information that we need, explain this to our patients, and communicate accurately with our colleagues.

  9. Normal Radiographic Appearances Radiolucent An adjective used to describe any substance (part of the patient) that readily permits the transmission of x rays.

  10. Normal Radiographic Appearances Radiopaque An adjective used to describe any substance (part of the patient) that blocks the transmission of x rays.

  11. Normal Radiographic Appearances Note Both adjectives refer to the object not the image on the radiograph. The terms are relative. Bone is more radiopaque than soft tissue, but more radiolucent than enamel.

  12. Normal Radiographic Appearances Density An adjective used to describe the ability of the film (or part of the film) to block the transmission of light. In other words, it refers to the “blackness” of all or part of the film.

  13. Normal Radiographic Appearances Contrast The difference in density of two neighboring areas on the radiograph (usually determined using a stepwedge).

  14. Normal Radiographic Appearances Detail The visibility of the fine structure in the image of the object under investigation.

  15. Normal Radiographic Appearances Definition The sharpness of the image of the fine structure of the object under investigation.
