Estimating distances on direct digital images and conventional radiographs.

Digital images produced by direct sensor systems are much larger than conventional radiographic film images because of monitor resolution and digital image file sizes. This difference in size may introduce difficulties when estimating distances (for example, during endodontic treatment). The aim of this study was to compare observers' estimates of distances on digital images with those of conventional radiographs.
