FOP intra-oral is a high contrast imaging transducer constructed
using a rare earth based X-ray scintillator coating that is applied
directly onto a fibre optic plate prior to bonding it to a CCD or
CMOS device.
Applications:
• Imaging in the dental industry
Benefits
The use of fibre optic plates that have been directly coated with X-ray scintillator has a number of benefits over the traditional methods of bonding an X-ray screen to a substrate:
• Higher resolution
• Higher contrast and light efficiency
due to elimination of light losses and optical distortions
• Variable coating thickness for custom
solutions.
