Here are three basic means to acquire a digital image:
- Direct: fastest method, requires a sensor that records the image–an electronic receptor that is specially coated.� In a similar manner that you would place a film packet, the sensor is placed in the oral cavity.
- Indirect: slowest method, requires a conventional dental radiograph.
- Semi-indirect:� requires a special sensor called a photostimuable phosphor plate (PSP) and a special scanner.
