Diagnostic imaging in the dental imaging (X-ray) market refers to the primary application of X-rays for diagnosing various dental conditions and diseases. Dentists use diagnostic imaging to visualize and assess the internal structures of teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues that are not visible during a regular clinical examination. This includes detecting dental caries (cavities), assessing the extent of tooth decay, identifying infections in the root canal or surrounding bone, and evaluating the condition of supporting structures such as the jawbone. Diagnostic imaging helps dentists make informed decisions about treatment options, ensures early detection of problems, and enables proactive management of oral health issues, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and preventive care strategies.
