Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of digital image receptors or sensors. They include direct solid-state (Figure 3) and indirect photo-stimulable phosphor plates (PSP) that are similar to flexible radiographic film (Figure 4).
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common sizes are the following: 8 X 10 in ( 20 x 25 cm) 9 X 9 in (23 x 23 cm) 10 X 12 in (25 X 30 cm) 11 X 14 in (28 X 35 cm)
Detailed explanation-3: -Intraoral digital receptors are available in sizes comparable to traditional dental film. Rigid digital receptors are typically available in sizes 0, 1, and 2 while the plate receptors are available in sizes 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The range of available sizes is dependent on the specific product manufacturer.
Detailed explanation-4: -Rigid digital receptors are categorized as direct digital devices. These rigid receptors are usually either a charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors with the latter being the most common.
