6.3 Tests Method
It is recommended to the practitioner to test regularly the quality of the imaging digital devices complete line.
You can refer to the standard IEC 61223-3-4 (V2000) which describes the acceptance tests imaging performance of
dental X-ray equipment.
Two parameters have to be inspected to verify the performance of both the X-ray generator unit and the Intra-oral
sensor (see chapters 5.8 and 5.9 of the standard IEC 61223-3-4):
Spatial resolution (pl/mm)
Low contrast resolution (mm)
To control these two parameters, you can use a phampton test object, placed directly in front of the exit of your
Xray unit collimator, and in which you introduce the intra-oral sensor.
Example of an intra-oral test phampton (QUALIMEDIS ref. OTN):
Various circular and rectangular guides sizes for X-
ray units collimator centring
