Positioning the Imaging Sensor
Using the VEX-P300 dental X-ray system, you may create an X-ray image on different
types of imaging receptors:
Digital sensors
•
Phosphor plate
•
To ensure image quality, the digital imaging sensor must be appropriately positioned
(for information about the proper placement of the imaging sensor, please refer to
'Positioning Instructions'.
Failure to position the imaging sensor correctly can result in errors on the

radiograph, such as distorted teeth and roots, elongation, magnification, and
overlapping contacts.
Failure to align the imaging sensor with the exit pattern of the X-ray beam can

result in cone-cuts on the radiograph. The cone-cuts are bright areas that are
shown on the radiograph when part of the radiograph is not exposed to radiation.
Please refer to the following figure as an example of cone-cuts.
The following figure indicates how the cone-cut occurred by showing the position of the
imaging sensor and the radiation area.

The paralleling technique generally reduces the risk of such
errors, but if the position of the sensor improperly, angulation
errors may occur (angulation of the sensor to the tooth itself).
