What is X ray unit and Sensor&how to use them?

1. What is X ray unit?

The equipment that produces X-rays is mainly composed of an X-ray tube, an X-ray machine power supply, and a control circuit. The X-ray tube is composed of a cathode filament (Cathod), an anode target (Anode), and a vacuum glass tube. The X-ray machine power supply can be divided into two parts: a high-voltage power supply and a filament power supply. The filament power supply is used to heat the filament. The high-voltage output ends of the high-voltage power supply are clamped at both ends of the cathode filament and the anode target, respectively, to provide a high-voltage electric field to accelerate the active electrons on the filament to flow toward the anode target, forming a high-speed electron flow. After bombarding the anode target surface, 99% of the electrons are converted into heat, and 1% produces X-rays due to bremsstrahlung.

2.What is the x ray sensor and advantage

Portable, lightweight intraoral X-ray sensors are designed to help produce clear digital images. When you use this sensor, your office's imaging procedures are more efficient because it allows dental office staff to quickly and easily collect the images they need for diagnostic and treatment purposes.

It is less complex than traditional film X-rays, which are generally more expensive to use, produce more waste, and are not as effective or accurate as digital dental X-ray sensors.

Utilizing digital X-ray sensor technology has the advantage of faster image capture. It is recommended that you start with the minimum number of sensors when switching from film to digital and add more sensors if you find that sensor availability is negatively affecting X-ray scheduling.

3.How to use the x ray sensor

A sensor is used, which is placed in the patient's mouth. When an external radiation source is angled to the sensor placed inside the mouth, an X-ray image is displayed on a computer at the push of a button. The exposure time used by RVG is very short and significantly faster than conventional ones.

Various software upgrades now allow dentists to edit digital images (produced by RVG) to get a better understanding of the underlying situation. These edits include changing contrast resolution, brightness, thermal mapping, etc. In addition, RVG allows dentists to save treatment progress, as it is now easier to store images digitally.
