O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar se imagens digitalizadas obtidas de radiografias periapicais tomadas com tempo de exposição reduzido podem ser melhoradas com o auxílio de um programa de computador (PhotoStyler) para tratamento digital. Foram empregadas radiografias de áreas de molares e premolares de mandíbulas secas, tomadas em série e padronizadas. Um total de 57 imagens equivalentes às radiografias com tempo de exposição reduzido (60 e 80% do tempo considerado normal), digitalizadas e tratadas, foram submetidas a avaliação de sete examinadores que as compararam com as imagens não tratadas. Verificou-se que cerca de 80% das imagens equivalentes às radiografias tomadas com redução de 60% da dose habitual foram consideradas de qualidade para elaboração de diagnóstico. Quanto às imagens radiográficas tomadas com 80% de redução do tempo de exposição, cerca de 50% foram consideradas adequadas para o mesmo propósito
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether digitized images obtained from periapical radiographs taken with low dose of radiation could be improved with the aid of a computer software (PhotoStyler) for digital treatrnent. Serial and standardized radiographs of molar and premolar areas were studied. A total of 57 images equivalent to the radiographs taken with reduced exposure time ( 60 and 80% of the time considered normal), digitized and treated, were submitted to the evaluation of seven exanúners which compared them with those images without treatment. lt was verified that about 80% of the images equivalem to lhe radiographs taken with 60% reduction of ordinary exposure time were considered to having quality for supporting diagnosis. As for the images taken with 80% reduction of ordinary exposure time, about 50% of them were considered suitable for the sarne purpose
