This high-resolution output ensures that the sensor’s images can be run through various image enhancements to improve contrast and sharpness levels critical to diagnostics while maintaining industry leading resolution levels. The chip, combined with the low noise, high light signal yield of a Cesium Iodide scintillator, enables the Schick 33 sensor to capture images with a line pair resolution of up to 28lp/mm. To achieve its incomparable image resolution, Schick 33 employs the second generation of its patented CMOS-APS imaging chip (the first generation was introduced in 1998). The Schick 33 sensor was designed with three key elements in mind: to provide the greatest image resolution possible, to be robust enough to withstand the wear and tear of daily practice use, and to provide the highest level of patient comfort without sacrificing imaging area. While the principles of digital radiography remain the same, the technology involved has come a long way in today’s Schick 33 range of sensors. Those sensors were the first in the industry to come in three film-like sizes and to use a CCD imaging chip. Intraoral imaging products have been designed and manufactured at this location since the first Schick sensors entered the market in 1994. On the fifth floor of an innocuous looking building in Queens, N.Y., visitors are often surprised to discover one of the most innovative R&D and manufacturing facilities in the U.S. This is a two-part series, the second of which will be appearing on July 16.
Recently, he took the time to discuss the Schick 33 sensor. As product manager at Sirona, Joe Goldstone is responsible for knowing all the ins and outs of all of their platforms.
