The aim of this study was to identify, compile, and report the technical specifications of current and historical intraoral digital radiographic systems and recommend standardised reporting practices for production companies.
A comprehensive report was prepared on 150 intraoral digital radiographic systems, comprising 105 sensor-based (70%) and 45 phosphor storage plate (PSP)-based systems (30%). Technical specifications were obtained from official company sources and scientific articles to ensure a complete collection of available data.
These systems were produced by 55 companies across 11 countries, with the United States leading (35.3%), followed by France (12%). Among the sensor systems, 76.2% used complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, with notable variations in sizes and resolutions. PSP systems were available in 7 plate sizes and displayed diverse resolutions and scanning times. Twenty-one companies produced both sensor- and PSP-based systems, 33 produced only sensor-based systems, and 1 produced exclusively PSP-based systems.
This report identified 150 digital radiographic systems, revealing wide variability in technical specifications and a lack of standardised reporting protocols. The comprehensive summary and recommendations for consistent documentation provided here can help clinicians make informed decisions and encourage manufacturers and production companies to adopt uniform reporting standards aligned with local regulatory frameworks.
本研究旨在识别、汇编并报告当前及历史口腔内数字放射成像系统的技术规格,并为生产公司推荐标准化的报告规范。
针对150种口腔内数字放射成像系统编写了一份综合报告,其中包括105种基于传感器的系统(占70%)和45种基于磷光存储板(PSP)的系统(占30%)。技术规格从公司官方资料和科学文献中获取,以确保全面收集可用数据。
这些系统由11个国家的55家公司生产,美国领先(占35.3%),其次是法国(占12%)。在传感器系统中,76.2%使用互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)技术,尺寸和分辨率存在显著差异。PSP系统有7种板型尺寸,分辨率和扫描时间各不相同。21家公司同时生产基于传感器和基于PSP的系统,33家仅生产基于传感器的系统,1家仅生产基于PSP的系统。
本报告识别了150种数字放射成像系统,揭示了技术规格的广泛差异以及缺乏标准化报告协议的情况。此处提供的全面总结和关于一致文档记录的建议有助于临床医生做出明智决策,并鼓励制造商和生产公司采用与当地监管框架一致的统一报告标准。
