A Method To Determine Curved Surface Laminagraphic Width And Position In Panoral Radiography Utilizing The Panorex X-Ray Unit, Gary G. Morikone

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Although the Panorex X-ray unit has been in existence for almost a decade, no information is publicly available relative to the determination of its laminagraphic slice width or position.

In order to utilize the machine most effectively as a research tool, it seems imperative that this width and position be established.

For the purpose of establishing the spatial relationship within the exposure mechanism, the two eccentric rotational axes were first located. Utilizing a positioning device, ten panoral radiographs of a plastic working dummy with metallic implants were exposed at varying exposure readings. The resultant radiographs, revealing varying degrees of accuracy …

Development Of A Positioning Device For Use In Conjunction With Panoral Radiography, Ray M. Hymer

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A cephalometric positioning device has been developed for use on the XRM Panorex X-Ray machine. Tests have demonstrated that the variability in producing serial radiographs with this device is comparable to, or less than, that currently accepted in conventional radiographic cephalometry.

Two procedures for obtaining serial radiographs were employed. Two patients were used for the first procedure and three patients were used in the second procedure.

In the first procedure each patient was positioned in the device and two radiographs were taken in sequence without disturbing the patient.

In the second procedure three clinic patients were used as subjects and …

A Cephalometric Comparison Of The Chamula, Mayo And Navajo Indians, Norman C. Bunker

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Lateral head x-rays were obtained on selected samples of 24 Chamula, 29 Mayo and 39 Navajo Indians for cephalometric comparison.

Cephalometric evaluation was carried out by means of the Bjork analysis. Mean values for each of the Indian groups were determined and compared with each other and with the mean values of a group of Swedish conscripts studied by Bjork. The mean values were statistically analyzed and and subjected to the Student's "t" test to determine the significant levels of differences.

Results revealed that in comparing the three Indian groups significant differences do appear. They are few and general concordance …

Patients With Transistor Pacemakers : Their Problems In Adjusting To Daily Living, Miriam L. Moore

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

It was the purpose of this study to gain greater insights into the problems and needs of patients with artificial pacemakers. The problem was to find out in what ways the pacemaker affected the patients' manner of living and what problems they had had in adjusting to a new way of life.

The method of the study was the descriptive survey; an interview guide was the tool. Seven patients who had been electronically paced for periods of four weeks to two and one half years were interviewed in their homes. The ages of the three men and four women ranged …

A Comparative Study Of Two Contemporary Methods Of Cephalometric Analysis, Alden B. Chase

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A comparative cephalometric study was made of nineteen cases, fourteen of which were patients under treatment at the Department of Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Loma Linda University. The remainder were individuals considered to have normal occlusions.

The review of the literature emphasized the plethora of analyses and the fact that cephalometry is a tool that must be mastered if the orthodontist is to give the best service. Thus the need for a study to compare the methods of analyzing the cephalograph. A study was made to compare two main methods of analysis and to determine whether or not the information …

Electroencephalography In A Teaching Hospital, Guy M. Hunt Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Electroencephalography may be defined as a study of the electrical activity of the brain. This activity was first recorded and reported by Caton in 1875. However, it was the work of Hans Berger, confirmed by Adrian and Matthews in 1935, which opened the way for the rapid advancement of knowledge in this field. The arrival of the age of electronics made possible development of the sensitive, accurate, and dependable amplifiers available in modern electroencephalography, which has in turn made possible the rapid advancements in this field. Techniques have been perfected and standardized, personnel have been trained, and laboratories have been …
