Dental x-ray aiming devices

  • How does x-ray device work?

    To produce an X-ray picture, an X-ray machine produces a very concentrated beam of electrons known as X-ray photons.
    This beam travels through the air, comes into contact with our body tissues, and produces an image on a metal film..

  • What is the function of the aiming cylinder in x-ray?

    Position-indicating device (PID) is the open-ended, lead-lined cylinder that extends from the opening of the metal housing of the tubehead.
    It is used to aim the x-ray beam..

  • What is the position indicating device in dental X-ray?

  • What type of x-ray machine is used in dentistry?

    Position indicating device: The lead-lined cone or cylinder that directs the x-ray beam during radiographic exposure.
    This device improves and standardizes dental radiographic imaging and reduces the patient's and operator's risk of radiation exposure..
