Specific Features and Physicotechnical Conditions of X-Ray Imaging Using the PARDUS-Stoma Apparatus

摘要

The PARDUS-Stoma X-ray system is described. It is intended for diagnosis of various diseases of teeth andpara-andperiodontium in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. The device design allows its use under conditions unconventional for X-ray equipment. Because of extremely low exposure dose of X-ray radiation, it also allows diagnostic examination in an unspecialized premise, for example, directly in the dentist's office. Because of small dimensions and weight, it allows dental photographing to be carried out manually, without use of a special floor or wall support. The results of this work show that manual photographing using the PARDUS-R X-ray device in a usual dentist's office is performed according to the operating instructions. It is safe not only for the personnel of group A, but also for the non-professional population.
