Patients Experience 90% Less Radiation
.

Patients no longer need to be concerned about the radiation necessary to expose dental x-rays. Our practice utilizes digital radiography. Conventional film is replaced with more sensitive computer sensors. This results in much less radiation to obtain diagnostic x-rays. It also provides the doctor with more rapid diagnostics and allows your visit to be shortened dramatically. 

.

Digital x-rays can be enhanced in numerous ways including colorization, reverse imaging, decay enhancements, etc… The x-rays are saved in our database and can be accessed immediately by our dental specialist, or even e-mailed to  insurance companies.

X-Ray Imaging Properties:

1) Resolution: The pixel resolution of the high resolution (HiRes) sensors exceeds 22 lp/mm. The standard resolution of an X-Ray image, as measured by the modulation transfer function (MTF) exceeds 12 lp/mm. This is measured by using a standard 60 kV intra-oral X-ray source.

2) Dose Efficiency: The sensor will produce a high quality image with an X-Ray dose that is only a fraction of the standard dose required by Dental X-Ray film.

3) Diagnostic Efficacy: The system will produce a superior image quality of images obtained when using standard dental X-Ray film. This allows the dentist to diagnose standard intra-oral pathologies encountered during screening procedures.

4) Wide dynamic range: The sensor pixel well capacity is very high, allowing a higher accommodation of grayscale (bone density) dynamic range.
