(21 cards)
are designed for mass screening, particularly for tuberculosis.
Photofluorography units
include panoramic and intra-oral systems to examine teeth, jaw, and oral tissues.
Dental X-ray Units
focuses on imaging a specific body layer, once widely used for evaluating structures such as the chest and spine before the advent of CT scanners.
Conventional (linear) tomography
A type of fluoroscopy unit used for mass screening, often employed in tuberculosis and lung cancer screening programs.These units typically use a fluorescent screen and are highly efficient for rapid imaging. Used for large- scale TB screening in developing countries
Photofluorography unit
Photofluorography units typically use a ____________ and are highly efficient for rapid imaging. Used for large- scale TB screening in developing countries
fluorescent screen
is an intensification process by which some of the energy associated with isotope decay is converted to light by the interaction of radio-
decay particles with a compound known as a fluor, which then exposes the X-ray film.
Fluorography
Fluorography is an intensification process by which some of the energy associated with isotope decay is converted to light by the interaction of radio- decay particles with a compound known as a ______, which then exposes the X-ray film.
fluor
is commonly used in tuberculosis screening programs in areas with high incidence rates.
Photofluorography
The X-rays strike a _____________ which then emits visible light that is captured by a camera.
fluorescent screen
Captures an entire view ofthe mouth in a single image. It is used to assess the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding tissues. It’s a valuable tool for dentists to assess the overall health of the oral cavity and identify potential problems, such as impacted teeth, bone abnormalities, and tumors.
Panoramic X-ray
A focused X-ray system that| captures detailed images of specific areas inside the mouth, typically used for cavity detection, root fractures, or infections.
Intra-oral X-ray
Intraoral X-rays is also known as
dental radiographs
are internal images of your teeth and jaws. They are a crucial diagnostic tool used by dentists to examine areas not visible during a routine checkup. These X-rays are categorized as intraoral because the film is placed inside the mouth. This allows for a closeup view of the teeth and surrounding structures, helping dentists to detect issues like cavities, bone loss, or infections. This technique is in contrast to extraoral X-rays, where the film is placed outside the mouth.
Intraoral X-rays or dental radiographs
can be used when placing a dental crown or filling, or to detect cavities between the teeth.
Bite-Wing X-Rays
it focuses on the tooth’s crown from top to where it meets the bone. Details from the top and bottom teeth can be shown, but only in one particular area.
Bite-Wing X-Rays
are used to diagnose issues in the root and surrounding bone structure.
Periapical X-Rays
show the entire tooth from top to where the root meets the jawbone. All the teeth on the upper or lower arch can be shown in a single _____
Periapical x-rays
show tooth placement of all the teeth in the upper or lower arch.
Occlusal X-rays
Conventional tomography is also known as
linear tomography
is an imaging technique that creates detailed images of a specific plane in the body by blurring out other
used before CT scanning
technology became
prevalent.
Conventional tomography/ linear tomography
was used for detailed imaging of the chest, spine, and joints. For instance, it might have been used to isolate a spinal segment for examination, helping to identify bone fractures or joint diseases.
