A dental radiology apparatus having: an intraoral sensor comprising a detector including an active pixel array produced using biCMOS technology and converting a received x-ray into at least one analog electrical output signal; an electronic module encapsulated in a case and which has at least one detector activation device, the module linked to the sensor for the transmission to the sensor of a detector activation signal generated in the module and for the transmission to the module of the at least one analog electrical output signal, the module having analog-digital means for converting the at least one analog electrical output signal into at least one digital output signal. A remote processing and display unit of the at least one digital output signal is linked to the electronic module to ensure the transmission to the unit of the at least one digital output signal.

Dental radiology apparatus and signal processing method used therewith

A dental radiology apparatus having: an intraoral sensor comprising a detector that includes an active pixel array produced using biCMOS technology and converting a received x-ray into at least one analog electrical output signal; an electronic module encapsulated in a case and which has at least one detector activation device, the module being linked to the sensor by a wire link for the transmission to said sensor of a detector activation signal generated in the module and for the transmission to the module of said at least one analog electrical output signal, the module having analog-digital means for converting said at least one analog electrical output signal into at least one digital output signal; and a remote processing and display unit of said at least one digital output signal which is linked to the electronic module by a wire link intended to ensure the transmission to the unit of said at least one digital output signal.

The invention relates to a radiographic device and method of servoing an X-ray source () in a radiography device comprising a MOS-type image sensor () with pixels provided with separate read and refreshment commands, respectively, in which, during a radiography operation, read commands of a plurality of image sensor pixels are called repeatedly, while maintaining a source of X-rays power-supplied, so as to establish, in response to each reading, at least one image acquisition characteristic, and in which the emission of X-rays is interrupted when the image acquisition characteristic corresponds to a preset image acquisition characteristic.
