چکیده
Background: The first commercial system for digital radiography was introduced in ۱۹۸۷, and it has evolved a great deal since then. Currently, it is possible to enhance images in digital radiography. Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of image enhancement in direct digital radiography as it relates to interproximal carries assessment. Materials and Methods: Following extraction, ۵۰ human teeth were kept in acidic gel (methyl cellulose + acetate buffer PH = ۴.۸) for ۴۲ days at ۳۷°C to cause caries before mounting. Direct digital radiography was then taken. Two filters were used: sharpen and emboss. Three radiologists evaluated the images with two weeks interval. The histologic assessments were gold standard. Additionally, SPSS ۲۰ was used to draw an ROC curve and calculate AUC. Cohen’s kappa and interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to measure intra- and inter-observer reliability. Results: For the emboss filter, sensitivity was ۹۵%, specificity was ۱۰۰%, and accuracy was ۹۶%. For the sharpen filter, sensitivity was ۸۸%, specificity was ۱۰۰%, and accuracy was ۹۰%. Also, the AUC for the emboss filter was ۰.۹۷, and it was ۰.۹۴ for the sharpen filter. Cohen’s simple kappa was in the range of excellent. Conclusions: Using these filters in intra-oral direct digital radiography (especially the emboss filter) can help some clinicians to increase diagnostic accuracy in the assessment of inter proximal caries of posterior teeth.کلیدواژه ها

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.
کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
