Intraoral phosphor plate x-ray (also known as phosphor storage plate or PSP x-ray) eliminates the need for traditional film processing for dental radiography. Phosphor storage plates can convert existing film based imaging systems to a digital format that can be integrated into a computer or network system. Many intraoral phosphor plate x-ray systems boast features such as immediate viewing of x-rays, wireless capabilities, high image resolution and DICOM compatibility. An internal hard drive stores the digital images, keeping x-rays on hand for quick retrieval and transfer. Be sure the vendor offers training while implementing an intraoral phosphor plate x-ray device, as well as continued technical support.
