Xeroradiography is a highly accurate electrostatic imaging technique. In this technique a conventional single-phase dental x-ray unit is used as an x-ray source, but instead of a silver-halide film image, a uniformly charged selenium alloy plate housed in a light-proof cassette is used. In this article the equipment, procedure, properties and artifacts related to the xeroradiographic technique are described. An evaluation of the xeroradiographic images is also presented. Xeroradiography, which requires only about one-third of the dose required for conventional radiographs, is a valuable alternative to conventional radiography for detecting carious lesions, calculus deposits and periodontal disease. It is also of value in interpreting periapical structures.
干板X线摄影是一种高度精确的静电成像技术。在这项技术中，传统的单相牙科X线设备用作X线源，但不是使用卤化银胶片成像，而是使用置于不透光暗盒中的均匀带电的硒合金板。本文描述了与干板X线摄影技术相关的设备、操作程序、特性及伪影。同时还给出了对干板X线摄影图像的评估。干板X线摄影所需剂量仅约为传统X线片的三分之一，是检测龋损、牙结石沉积及牙周疾病的一种有价值的传统X线摄影替代方法。它在解读根尖周结构方面也有价值。
