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.
