A fast, low-dose digitized imaging system using a small intraoral probe as opposed to X-ray film, an intensifying screen, and a charge-coupled device.
Benefit to the patient:It presents the possibility of reduced patient exposure and minimal deformity, because resolution and latitude are lower than standard dental X-ray. A receiver is placed in the mouth, that conduct signals to a computer the signals of these images on screen or printed. It includes digitizing X-ray film or any other detector.
