Digital Imaging
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Sensor | detector used to capture dental image |
| Charge coupled device | image receptor found in intraoral sensor |
| Storage phosper imaging | form of indirect imaging which image is recorded on phospher coated plates and placed into electronic processor where laser scans plate for image to appear on computer |
| Digitize | to convert image into digital form |
| Direct digital Imaging | method of obtaining digital image in which intraoral sensor is exposed to x-rays to capture image for computer |
| Pixel | discrete unit of info/picture element |
| Digital subtraction | method of reversing gray scale as digital image is viewed (RL to RO and RO to RL) |
| Digital radiography | filmless imaging system capturing image with sensor and presenting and strong and presenting a strong film using a computer |
| Digital Imaging requires less | x-radiation then conventional x-ray unit |
| Compared to film emulsion | pixels used in digital Imaging are structured in an orderly arrangement |
| All intraoral sensors | can't be heat sterilized after use |
| Preferred exposure method for intraoral digital Imaging is | paralleling technique |
| One advantage of digital Imaging system is | superior gray scale resolution that results |
| Digital subtraction | advantage in imaging because distraction background info is eliminated from image |
| The manipulation of original digital image can be | Considered a legal issue |
| Digital Imaging was | introduced to dentistry in 1987 |
| Digital Imaging requires | less radiation than conventional radiography because the sensor is more sensitive to x-rays |
| Charged coupled device (CCD) | image receptor found in intraoral sensor |
