A sensor with a fiber optic cable linked to the computer is placed into the mouth of the patient and exposed to x-radiation.This is an example of
A)phosphor imaging.
B)use of the CCD camera.
C)direct digital imaging.
D)indirect digital imaging.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reusable imaging plate coated with phosphors is used instead of a sensor with a fiber optic cable.In the scanning method,an existing radiograph is digitized using a CCD camera.The essential components of a direct digital imaging system include an x-ray machine,an intraoral sensor,and computer monitor.A sensor with a fiber optic cable linked to the computer is placed into the mouth of the patient and exposed to x-radiation.Indirect digital imaging includes scanning traditional radiographs and storing phosphor imaging.
