Operation
Note: 1. The orientation letter “ a ”, printed on the PSP, may be used for reference as you would use the
dot on an intraoral X-ray film. A backwards “
a
” (i.e. “ ”), appearing in an image,
is an indication that the image has been flipped.
2. If using holders with alligator clips, it is advisable to file down the points to avoid puncturing the
Barrier Envelope. It is important to take care not to puncture the Barrier Envelope or damage
the PSP.
11.8 Take an X-ray image.
Put an image on the PSP by performing the following procedure.
1. Place the erased intraoral PSP in the sealed Barrier Envelope into the patient's mouth exactly as you
would use X-ray film. Make sure the opaque side of the Barrier Envelope is facing the tubehead.
2. Take the exposure. The X-ray dose may typically be reduced by 80 - 85% of that required
for D-speed intraoral film (depending on X-ray system used; the actual X-ray dose should be
determined through experimentation).
