METHOD FOR PRODUCING IMAGES IN DIGITAL DENTAL RADIOGRAPHY

摘要

The inventive device for digital dental radiography has a source of Xradiation, a detector device, a correcting device and a temperature control device. Said detector device consists of a CCD array on which a scintillator layer is arranged and the radiation geometry of the detector device is constant in relation to the source of X-radiation. The correcting device corrects the electrical signals generated by the CCD array by compensating fluctuations in the electrical signals of the individual elements of the CCD array caused by a dark current of said array elements, by the array elements having different degrees of conversion efficiency and by the inhomogeneity of the scintillator layer. The temperature control device ensures that the detector device remains at a constant temperature during the detection of reference signals and image signals.
