Radiographic Measurements

Radiographic measurements involve calculating distances, angles, or sizes of structures seen on X-ray images to assess anatomy or detect abnormalities. These measurements help healthcare professionals evaluate the position, size, or changes in bones, organs, or tissues, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning. Techniques include using special tools or software to ensure accuracy, and results can indicate issues like fractures, tumors, or developmental abnormalities. Proper measurement is essential for comparing progress over time or determining the severity of a condition, all based on visual information captured through radiography.
