Re: Are digital x-rays betterthan film?

I have considered the phosphor plate for a panorex solution.
I realize they are smaller but you still have to arrainge them like
film in the software.
And if you need to retake you will not know until you scan the plates.
With the sensor you can retake without removing the sensor from
patient's mouth. In time they will probably come up with a flexible
sensor which will eliminate these problems.
Also they deteriorate after time. The sensor provides the same quality
until the cord breaks at which point you can not get any image until it
is repaired.
All digital systems have pros and cons for my needs I can live with the
cons for sensors.
Maybe it is best to have both types for that odd patient and maybe as
the cost goes down it may be worth getting.
