radiology

a small detector that is placed intraorally to capture the radiographic image

an image receptor found in the intraoral sensor

a form of indirect digital imaging in which the image is recorded on phosphor coated plates and then placed into an electronic processor where a laser scans the plate and produces an image on a computer screen

to convert an image into digital form that in turn can be processed by a computer

a method of obtaining a digital image in which an intraoral sensor is exposed to xrays to capture a radiographic image that can be viewed on a computer monitor

a discrete unit of information; a picture element

a method of obtaining a digital image in which an existing radiograph is scanned and converted into a digital form using a CCD camera

a method of reversing the gray scale as a digital image is viewed

a filmless imaging system; a method of capturing a radiographic image using a sensor, breaking it into electronic pieces, and presenting and storing the image using a computer

t/f in digital radiography, the term used to describe the picture that is produced is radiograph.
True False

t/f digital radiography requires more xradiation than conventional radiography
True False

t/f the xradiation source used in most digital radiography systems is a conventional dental xray unit
True False

t/f compared with film emulsion, the pixels used in digital radiography are structured in an orderly arrangement.
True False

t/f all intraoral sensors can be heat sterilized after use
True False

t/f the preferred exposure method for intraoral digital radiography is the paralleling technique
True False

t/f one advantage of a digital radiography system is the superior gray scale resolution that results
True False

t/f digital subtraction is an advantage in digital radiography because distracting background information is eliminated from the image
True False

t/f the manipulation of the original digital image can be considered a legal issue
True False
