Effect of image magnification of digitized bitewing radiographs on approximal caries detection: an in vitro study.

Abstract

Digital image magnification has a significant influence on observer performance in the detection of approximal caries, with an upper limit beyond which diagnostic accuracy may be reduced. Further research is needed to determine limits for various different diagnostic tasks so as to give GDPs guidelines on the appropriate magnifications to use.
