Both statements are true. Direct digital radiography involves the use of sensors that can become contaminated if they come into contact with saliva or blood. Therefore, barrier sheaths should be used to prevent contamination. Indirect digital radiography involves the use of phosphor plates, which can also become contaminated, so infection control barriers should be used.
