Storage Phosphor
Technology
The DenOptix QST System produces high quality X-ray images at very low doses as compared to
intraoral X-ray film. The imaging plates in the DenOptix QST Systems are much more efficient at
capturing X-ray energy than film. This means that the timer on your intraoral X-ray source can be
turned down to a very low level without affecting the image quality.
