What is the RVG?

What is the RVG?

RVG stands for RadioVisioGraphy. This technology is used as an alternative to X-ray radiography in dentistry. RVG Sensors are developed keeping their durability and image quality in mind. The hermetically sealed sensor housing makes this sensor waterproof allowing for versatile applications.

What is an intra oral radiograph?

There are two main types of dental X-rays: intraoral (meaning the X-ray film is inside the mouth) and extraoral (meaning the X-ray film is outside the mouth). Intraoral X-rays are the most common type of dental X-ray taken.

What is digital radiography in dentistry?

Digital Dental Radiography: Zooming in on the Future of Dental Imaging. Digital radiography is a type of X-ray imaging that uses digital X-ray sensors to replace traditional photographic X-ray film, producing enhanced computer images of teeth, gums, and other oral structures and conditions.

What is intraoral and extraoral?

There are two main types of dental X-rays: intraoral (the X-ray film is inside the mouth) and extraoral (the X-ray film is outside the mouth). Intraoral X-rays are the most common type of X-ray.

Who invented RVG?

Francis Mouyen invented the first commercialized digital intraoral-radiographic system, RadioVisioGraphy (RVG), for operative pro- cedures where immediacy of results is of the essence, rather than as a mere replacement for intraoral x-ray film surveys (Fig. 1).

Is CR a CT scan?

Computed tomography (CT) has become more widely available and computed radiography (CR) has replaced film-screen radiography for canine thoracic imaging in many veterinary practices. Significantly smaller nodules were detected with CT (P = 0.0007) and no difference in minimum size was detected between CR and films.

What is DX in radiology?

The Digital X-Ray (DX) Image Information Object Definition specifies an image that has been created by a digital projection radiography imaging device.
