Appendix 16 Scanning times The scanning time corresponds to the time taken for complete scanning of image data and depends on image plate format and pixel size. The time to image will depend largely on the computer system used and its work load. Times stated are approximate.
Appendix 17 File sizes (uncompressed) The actual file size will depend on the image plate format and the pixel size. File sizes stated are approx- imate and have been rounded upwards. Suitable compression methods can considerably reduce the file size without loss of data. 17.1 Intraoral Theoretical resolution (LP/mm)
