title: Imaging properties of intraoral dental xeroradiography.
abstract: A prototype imaging system for intraoral dental xeroradiography has been described. In vivo evaluations of image quality show that intraoral xeroradiographs are superior to conventional intraoral film radiographs primarily because of the wide latitude and edge enhancement properties of xeroradiography. In addition, intraoral xeroradiography requires only a third of the radiation dose of corresponding intraoral film techniques.
