Intraoral receptor

consists of a tubehead, extension arm, and control panel

what is a nomad?

a portable type of intraoral dental x-ray machine that allows for exposures outside of the dental office, is battery powered, produces high-quality diagnostic images, and is approved in many states.

Extraoral PAN machine

A type of dental x-ray machine that contains components such as the x-ray tubehead, head positioner, and exposure controls.

Performance Standards

• Regulations set after 1974 by the federal government for the manufacture and installation of dental x-ray equipment

• with usage dictated by state and local governments.

• required to be registered with the department of community health, healthcare facility regulation, for safety purposes

Intraoral Machine

Components include the tubehead containing the x-ray tube, extension arm for positioning, and control panel with on-off switch, exposure button, and control devices.

Beam alignment device

An instrument aiding in positioning the PID relative to the tooth and receptor

XCP

helps avoid cone-cutting and capture desired structures.

Collimating Device

Used with a beam alignment device to restrict the size of the x-ray beam and limit radiation exposure.

Types of Receptor Holders

disposable Styrofoam bite-blocks, molded-plastic devices like Snap-A-Ray, EndoRay, Uni-bite, and Rinn XCP and BAI Instruments.

Digital Imaging

Utilized in dentistry for diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of oral health, offering advantages like immediate viewing, manipulation, storage, and sharing.

Examples of what digital imaging is need to view

cavities, impacted teeth, bone loss, infections

components of digital imaging fundamentals

proper pt positioning, aiming the image device accurately, ensuring image quality and clarity

Analog Image

Historically used in dental imaging, primarily involving conventional X-ray film.

sensor

digital technology used in modern dentistry to capture images

digitalized

the process of converting an image into a digital form

digital image advantages

immediate viewing, manipulation (adjusting contrast and brightness), easy storage and retrieval, ability to share electronically with other HCPs

Direct Imaging

involves capturing X-ray images onto a digital sensor that is placed in the pt's mouth

Indirect Digital

x-ray images are captured with a traditional machine and film and then converted into a digital format.

Film Composition

Includes film base, adhesive layer, film emulsion, and protective layer in dental x-ray film.

Latent Image Formation

x-rays ionize silver halide crystals, with the thickness of objects determining contrast and the image can't be seen until the film is processed

Intraoral Film Packaging

Consists of x-ray film, paper film wrapper, lead foil sheet, and outer package wrapping.

Intraoral Film Size

Includes periapical, bitewing, and occlusal

Extraoral Film

composed of film types, film packaging, extraoral equipment

extraoral film types

screen film

nonscreen film

extraoral film packaging

no packet

boxed in packages of 50-100

extraoral equipment

intensifying screens

cassettes

Film Processing

A series of steps converting latent images into permanent visible ones; involving development, rinsing, fixing, washing, and drying.

development

hydroquinone and elon

• softens the film emulsion

rinsing

stops the development process

• removes developer from the film

fixing

removes unexposed silver halide crystals

washing

removes all excess chemicals from the emulsion

drying

films must be dried before they can be handled

Automatic Processor

A device used in film processing to automate the steps of developing, rinsing, fixing, washing, and drying dental radiographs.

Film Mounting

Essential for dental professionals, involves arranging radiographs in anatomic order, can be viewed more efficiently and are easier to interpret

what materials can film mounts be made of?

cardboard, plastic, vinyl

Film mount

Supports and arranges dental images in anatomic order, available in various sizes and configurations, and may be opaque or clear to mask surrounding light.
