Abstract: A package for intraoral dental X-ray film comprised of a plastic pouch having an X-ray film with a selectively removable intensifier foil positioned on at least one side thereof within the interior of such pouch.

Abstract: An X-ray installation particularly adapted for dental diagnostic use wherein the radiating anode is disposed adjacent the remote end of a tube projecting from a cathode housing. The anode emitts radiation in substantially all directions and the tube has a length sufficient to be inserted into the patient's mouth. The tube containing the anode is equipped as desired with a radiation absorbing cap which in one instance limits radiation emission through a cap aperture for filming from within the patient's mouth and in a second instance comprises a slip-on cylindrical tube having a focusing opening at an axial end thereof for directing radiation to a specified area of the mouth from externally of the mouth.

Abstract: A dental X-ray diagnostic installation in which an X-ray tube has an X-ray image intensifier associated therewith, and that means are provided which permit an alignment of its inlet screen with the focus of the X-ray tube. The X-ray image intensifier, during the carrying out of radioscopies, receives the X-radiation emanating from the patient and amplifies the radiation. Accordingly, it thereby permits the observation of the presently produced X-ray image either directly through an optical device associated with its outlet screen, or indirectly through the intermediary of a video system connected to the output thereof.
