RBAE was also examined 1 cm distal to the nutrient foramen of the MCIII. Data were analyzed using Proc CORR (SAS 9.1) and is reported as mean AE standard deviation. When RBAE was calculated for medial, lateral, and dorsal corticesfrom traditional film radiographs using average optical density for the standard curve in Quantity One, there was a higher correlation to Multi-Analyst than when the maximum optical density was used to make the standard curve (R 2 ¼ 0.87, 0.86, 0.74 respectively). Total RBAE on the dorsalpalmar view from the traditional radiographs had an average of 286 AE 154 mm Al for Quantity One and 292 AE 173 mm Al for Multi-Analyst (R 2 ¼ 0.98). Total RBAE on the medial-lateral view from the digital radiographs had an average of 539 AE 137 mm Al for Quantity One and 530 AE 165 mm Al for Multi-Analyst (R 2 ¼ 0.95). Results demonstrated high correlations between the results obtained from the software used with both types of radiographs. Digital radiographs should allow greater ability to detect treatment differences in research trials, and monitor changes associated with training or nutrition, due to their increased clarity.
