#DEXIS PLATINUM USB XRAY SENSOR SOFTWARE#

The sensor head detects when X-Ray energy is present and triggers its capture electronics to start the image exposure.

The software on the Host PC processes the image information and presents it to the user for viewing and manipulation. The digital signal is then passed to processing electronics, and then to the USB interface. The CMOS imaging sensor converts the light into a voltage that may be read out by the support electronics and passed to the analogue to digital converters.

This is a physically large CMOS imaging sensor that is similar to that found in conventional digital cameras such as a Digital SLR. The micro-channel plate passes the collected light to the CMOS imaging sensor. Behind this there is a special fibre optic micro-channel plate to control light dispersion. So how does it work ? In the head you will find a scintillation plate that produces light when illuminated by X-Ray energy. It is a highly integrated electronics package. The design is advanced in that all of the electronics are located in the head and USB plug, with no need for a large module that normally sits between the two.

The Gendex GXS-700 is actually a re-badged DEXIS Platinum sensor. These sensors are used in place of dental X-Ray film and are composed of an electronics package that converts X-Ray energy into images that are passed to the host PC via USB. As those who have been following my X-Ray images thread will know, I have purchased a Gendex GXS-700 dental X-Ray imaging sensor that is in need of repair.
