Abstract
A wireless intraoral dental x-ray imaging sensor and method of use. The sensor optionally has a rechargeable battery located away from the edge of a PCB/ceramic substrate to enable encapsulation. The sensor has a compact microcontroller unit with several blocks including a radiolink, processing capacity, and a low power management system. Bit truncation and image compression take place on a readout substrate and/or on the MCU. External memory blocks allow for at least partial image storage for safety and as a backup.
