Image quality in radiography of midfacial trauma was studied in 618 patients treated for midfacial injury. The visibility of key anatomic areas was related to essential technical factors influencing image quality as well as to the radiologic diagnostic performance. Regression analysis revealed that the visibility of the key anatomic areas was significantly dependent on the technical factors. However, the radiologic diagnostic performance was not significantly dependent on the visibility of the key anatomic areas. The results indicate that image quality was not a limiting factor for radiologic diagnostic performance in midfacial trauma.
