Preferred Label : radiography, dental, digital;
MeSH definition : 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. (From MEDLINE
abstracts; personal communication from Dr. Charles Berthold, NIDR);
