Conley Study Club last night: Digital X-rays.

Our study club met last evening. A representative from Kodak Dental Systems was our guest presenter. The Kodak sensors are very good. The wired system that they provide is excellent. The presentation highlighted many of the advantages of computer based imaging.

The system in my office is still in my mind the best conventional system. It results in less exposure to radiation than any of the others it seems. As mentioned previously, the radiation exposure to the patient is one third of that for film or conventional digital x-ray sensors like the Kodak sensor. We have the ability to take panoramic images with our system also.

It was a good meeting. It was informative and inspired some good discussion among our group. There were about a dozen of us present for this meeting.
