The diagnostic accuracy of panoramic and periapical radiography was compared by five oral radiologists who assessed the periapical status of 117 teeth evenly distributed throughout the jaws with a 50% probability that either an osteolytic or sclerotic lesion was present. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated no overall significant difference between panoramic and periapical radiography. However, for sclerotic lesions and for all lesions on maxillary premolars and mandibular molars periapical radiography was significantly superior (P less than 0.001); it was also superior for osteolytic lesions in the maxilla as well as for the lesions on mandibular premolars but with a smaller significant difference (P less than 0.05).
五位口腔放射科医生比较了全景片和根尖片的诊断准确性，他们评估了117颗均匀分布于上下颌的牙齿的根尖状况，存在溶骨性或硬化性病变的概率均为50%。受试者操作特征（ROC）分析表明，全景片和根尖片之间总体上没有显著差异。然而，对于硬化性病变以及上颌前磨牙和下颌磨牙上的所有病变，根尖片明显更具优势（P小于0.001）；对于上颌的溶骨性病变以及下颌前磨牙上的病变，根尖片也更具优势，但差异较小（P小于0.05）。
