y examining a patient, the dentist renders a. service based upon his knowledge, skill, and experience. He uses roentgenograms and other diagnostic aids as part of the examination. Roentgenograms correspond to other documentary health records, and the dentist does not sell any of them. They are the property of the dentist or of the clinic or hospital in which they were made. Roentgenograms have no intrinsic value for the patient. Roentgenograms should be preserved as a part of the patient’s permanent record, since they are probably the most essential part of a dentist’s evidence in a malpractice suit. The fee for a roentgenographic examination should not be itemized separately but should be included in a general charge for services rendered.

he scintillation scanner is an electronic device which provides a graphic record on film of the distribution of radioisotopes within selected organs of the body. The record that it produces consists of numerous marks, the location and proximity of which indicate the location and concentration of the isotope within the patient. Orientation of this record with a photographic image of the patient is provided by exposing the same film a second time in a pinhole camera suitably directed at the patient.
In order to keep readers of ORAL SURGERY, ORAL MEDICINE AND ORAL PATHOLOGY better informed about articles published in journals not generally read by dentally oriented individuals, a “Radio-Abstracts” page has been added as a permanent feature of the Oral Roentgenology section.
