Preparing Your Current X-ray Equipment
The DenOptix QST System produces X-ray images of high quality and low noise yet offers a dose
reduction in intraoral surveys up to 80% of the dose required for D-speed intraoral film. More
details on how this technology works can be found in appendix A. Almost any intraoral or
panoramic X-ray unit can be used with the DenOptix QST system. There is no need to purchase
a new one.
The imaging plates produce excellent diagnostic images over a wide range of exposures. With
the DenOptix QST system, it is possible to get diagnostic images at the same exposure time you
use for X-ray film or as much as 80% reduction of the dose required for D-speed film. This means
that it is more difficult to over- or under-expose an image. We recommend, however, that you
start with the exposure times outlined in the table below.
Intraoral Equipment
Exposure times indicated hereunder are estimates that must be verified and
adjusted depending on specific and actual local conditions, e.g. supply voltage, X-
ray tube yield, timer accuracy, beam filtration, etc.
