Understanding how these systems communicate can help explain why problems occur and how to solve them. We share some important things to know to successfully get your dental X-ray machine to communicate with a modern computer . PCI Cards and Fiber Optic Cables Older dental X-ray machines do not use USB or Ethernet connections. Instead, they rely on fiber optic cables connected to a proprietary PCI or PCIe card installed inside the computer. PCI and PCIe cards are not generic. They contain custom firmware and use ST fiber optic connectors. PCI cards can be full size or half size. The PCIe comes as a PCIe-1, which is the smallest of slots available...

For many dentists out there, the most important piece of technology they have in their office is their Soredex X-Ray machine. And when it's not working, they can lose business. So, should they replace or repair their X-Ray machine? In a recent article, it was noted that: Another reason to give strong consideration to repairing your machine instead of having it replaced is that replacing it means you'll need to buy new X-Ray film and other necessary products associated with the machine's operation. Think of it the same way as buying a new printer: you have to buy all new ink cartridges for it. When you have your X-Ray machine repaired, you're not going to have to rush out and buy all new film and other amenities. Read the entire article: " Dental X-Ray Machines: Replace or Repair? "
