- 18 With Questions And 100% SURE ANSWERS
Terms in this set (111)
Generates images for diagnosis and assessment digital imaging
of dental disease.
The images produced are diagnostically
equivalent to film based imaging.
- requires less x radiation
Radiation exposure with digital imaging - exposure times are 50 - 90% less
- absorbed dose to patient is significantly reduced
-Initial set up costs
-Image quality
-Sensor size and thickness
disadvantages of digital imaging
-Infection control
-Wear and tear
-Legal issues

-Superior gray-scale resolution
-Reduced exposure to x-radiation
-Increased speed of image viewing
advantages of digital imaging -Lower equipment and film cost
-Increased efficiency
-Enhancement of diagnostic image
-Effective patient education tool
Often preferred over manual film processing
Less processing time required
Automatic film processing Time and temperature automatically controlled
Less equipment used
Less space required
1) development
2) fixing
set up of automatic film processing
3) washing
4) drying
- enters through a feed slot → opening outside of the processor inserting unwrapped films
- roller transports film quickly through a developer, fixer, water, then drying compartment →
primary function of the rollers to move through automatic processor → also removes excess
liquid off films
- developer compartment: holds a highly concentrated developing solution temp. 80 – 95
degrees F
- fixer: holds a highly concentrated fixer solution utilizing additional hardening agents.
Film transported directly to the fixer compartment from the developer compartment without
how does automatic processing work (steps on
rinsing
how to process films)
- water compartment: holds circulating water washing the films following fixation
- drying chamber: holds heated air to dry wet films
- replenisher
pump/solutions: maintain proper solution concentration and levels
- film recover slot: opening on outside of processor housing where the dry film emerges from
automatic processor
