Which receptor type can be held by the Positioning Device during exposure besides traditional film?

• A. Phosphor Storage Plates (PSPs)
• B. Intraoral Film
• C. Panoramic Film
• D. Label Side

Answer: (A)

The idea is that some digital receptors can use the same positioning device as traditional film. Phosphor storage plates fit into the same intraoral holders and are exposed just like film. After exposure, these plates are read by a scanner to produce a digital image, so they work with the device that holds film in place during the X-ray. That compatibility is why they’re the correct choice here. Intraoral film is the traditional receptor, not a different option held by the same device. Panoramic film is used with a different, panoramic unit, not the typical intraoral positioning system. The label side isn’t a receptor at all.
