US Procedure Numbers for Dental Imaging Devices 2016 - Research and Markets

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "US Procedure Numbers for Dental Imaging Devices 2016" report to their offering.

In 2015, the average number of intraoral X-ray shots taken per dental office in the U.S. ranged from 200 to 250 per week. There are three methods for taking intraoral X-ray shots, including analog film, photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plates and digital sensors. Analog film captures X-ray images which must be subsequently developed in a dark room or with an electronic film processor.

PSP plates capture images in a method similar to film. The plates must then be scanned by a PSP system which will convert the image into a digital file made viewable on any computer using imaging software. Finally, digital sensors are electronic devices that allow the direct acquisition of a digital X-ray image without any intermediary processing step.

Extraoral procedures are split between analog film panoramic, digital panoramic and cephalometric procedures. In 2015, the average number of extraoral X-ray shots performed by denal offices in the U.S. ranged from 15 to 20 per week. A panoramic extraoral X-ray consists of a scanner rotating around a patient's head, providing one seamless shot. A sensor situated on the opposite end captures the X-rays that display the front view of the patient's entire mouth, including the jaw and teeth. A cephalometric shot consists of a side view X-ray image of patient's head, while a CBCT scan produces a three-dimensional image of the patient's skull.
