2.2 Positioning and exposure
Position the imaging plate according to the
anatomical area of interest. Holders (petitioners)
are recommended for the best positioning
accuracy. See the chapter 4.4 Holders, for more
information.
Apply X-ray according to the anatomical area of
interest and on the intraoral X-ray tube in use.
Find guidelines of exposure times in seconds for a
standard DC X-ray unit in the table below.
Correct exposure settings depend on the X-ray unit
type in use. For an AC-unit or for a low tube current
(i.e. portable X-ray) apply higher exposure times.
Exposure factors close to F-speed film are often
appropriate.
