Abstract

Different imaging techniques are used to pick up the signal of interest in digital sensors, including charge-coupled devices (CCD), complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS), photostimulable phosphors plates (PSP) and tuned-aperture computed tomography (TACT) Digital radiography sensors are divided into: storage phosphor plates (SPP) called photostimulable phosphor plates (PSP), silicon devices such as charge-coupled devices (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS). Relatively new type of imaging that may hold advantage over current radiographic modalities is tuned-aperture computed tomography (TACT).

Highlights

  • Direct digital imaging was first presented in 1984 by Dr Frances Moujones

  • Different imaging techniques were used to pick up the signal of interest in digital sensors, including charge-coupled devices (CCD), complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS), photostimulable phosphors (PSP) and tuned-aperture computed tomography (TACT) (1,2)

  • Area arrays are used for intraoral radiography, while linear arrays are used in extraoral imaging
