By using a computer program and an electronic sensor we are able to take digital x-rays, which are available to read immediately. Gone are the use of toxic chemicals used to develop films and the lengthy time needed to process them. These x-rays require up to 70% less radiation than traditional diagnostic dental x-rays. The image can be enhanced electronically to aid in diagnostic accuracy and speed.
As always, clients are shielded from additional exposure to radiation by the use of collimated beams that specifically target the area being x-rayed and the use of lead body and cervical neck shields. |
