Impact of rubber dam thickness on image quality parameters in photostimulable phosphor plates
The thick rubber dam reduced SNR and CNR values; likewise, Michelson and Weber contrasts were changed, which pointed a reduced image quality and negatively affected object visibility. Short exposure times are recommended to maintain image quality in clinical situations requiring the use of a thick rubber dam.
