Study Notes

Radiation and X-Radiation

  • Radiation is energy carried by waves or streams of particles.
  • X-radiation is high-energy radiation generated by electron collisions in an x-ray tube.
  • X-rays are capable of penetrating substances and creating image shadows on film or digital sensors.

Radiology and Radiography

  • Radiology involves the study of radiation in medicine, focusing on x-rays and other radiant energy for therapeutic purposes.
  • A radiograph is produced on a sensitive receptor through exposure to ionizing radiation, representing 3D objects in 2D form.
  • Dental radiography specifically involves the creation of radiographs for teeth and adjacent structures.

Imaging and Image Receptors

  • Dental imaging creates representations for diagnostic purposes through digital or film methods.
  • An image receptor is a recording medium that captures radiation; formats include x-ray film, phosphor plates, and digital sensors.
  • Dental radiographers are qualified individuals responsible for positioning and processing dental x-ray image receptors.

Key Terms

  • Dental radiograph: A photographic image resulting from x-rays passing through dental structures.
  • Radiography is the process of making radiographs by exposing a receptor to x-rays.
  • Image: Refers to any visual representation of an object, be it physical or digital.
