MeSH Heading: Radiography, Dental, Digital
Tree Number(s): E01.370.350.600.350.700.690; E01.370.350.700.700.690; E01.370.350.700.720.720; E06.342.764.716
Unique ID: D019252
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019252
Scope Note: A rapid, low-dose, digital imaging system using a small intraoral sensor instead of radiographic film, an intensifying screen, and a charge-coupled device. It presents the possibility of reduced patient exposure and minimal distortion, although resolution and latitude are inferior to standard dental radiography. A receiver is placed in the mouth, routing signals to a computer which images the signals on a screen or in print. It includes digitizing from x-ray film or any other detector.
