Abstract
The present invention relates to an intraoral sensor for intraoral X-ray photography, and provides an intraoral sensor bending along an intraoral structure during intraoral X-ray photography, wherein the degree of bending of a first region corresponding to a part facing the major axis differs from that of a second region corresponding to the remaining part.
Claims17
An intraoral sensor for intraoral X-ray imaging, comprising:
- a sensor panel for generating electric signals from X-rays, wherein the sensor panel includes:
- a semiconductor substrate having a thickness of 100 um or less, a photoelectric transducer element formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a scintillator layer covering the photoelectric transducer element;
- a first case for covering a side of the sensor panel on which the X-rays are incident;
- a housing for covering the sensor panel and the first case;
- an elasticity adjustment member covering a side of the sensor panel that is opposite a side on which the X-rays are incident;
- and
- a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) covering the elasticity adjustment member,
- wherein the intraoral sensor is bendable along an intraoral structure during an intraoral X-ray imaging, and has a first area corresponding to a part along a major axis and a second area corresponding to a remaining part, the first area and the second area bending to different extents.
