Study Notes
- Digital imaging uses wired or wireless sensors instead of film in radiographic techniques
- Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC) is required to produce digital images
- Digital images require less radiation than film
- Direct solid state and indirect photostimulable phosphor plates (PSP) are the two types of digital image receptors
- Specific positioning systems are required for direct digital systems
- Infection control is important to avoid cross-contamination when exposing images
- Intraoral digital imaging offers better image quality and patient safety, but costs more to set up and can cause patient discomfort
- Three-dimensional extraoral digital imaging can be useful for endodontists, periodontists, and orthodontists during specialty procedures.
