INTRODUCTIONDental images refers to conduct a legal procedure of radiographic examination of teeth bycare practitioners to determine actual dental problems. It includes an effective process with thehelp of using appropriate equipments and chemicals by maintaining safety of patient to takeimages for analysing defects for treating them properly (Banerji, Mehta and Ho, 2017). Thepresent report is based on correct way to check functioning of imaging equipment and itemsinterfering radiography. It will focus on chemicals used in developing radiograph and theircomponents in them. The procedure at surgery for producing dental images and ensuring theirquality along with storage of them is given below. TASK 1 Correct way to check fully functioning of imaging equipmentThe radiography in dental health is a method to take clear oral images to determine actualproblems in gums, teeth and other relevant areas in order to treat it properly. It involves intra-oraland extra-oral x-rays having their sub categories which are utilised by dentist for evaluatingrelated problems for providing treatment in an appropriate manner. Meanwhile, these sub-sections are depends the area from images are required to be taken to identify the dental issue.However, radiography requires several equipments for imaging such as X-ray generatingequipments for producing x-rays, image receptors i.e. film & digital to detect x-rays and imageprocessing including chemical or computer to develop visual black, white and grey image ofinfected oral area. It requires certain resources to produce dental images including holders, film,receptors, mounting sheets and software (Uyar and et. al., 2016). The imaging equipment can be checked by evaluating components of every equipmentthat is utilise by care practitioner to make sure their proper condition for working. However, theX-ray machine consist three main components including a tube-head, positioning arms and acontrol panel & circuitry. Meanwhile, it is necessary to check their sub parts' condition like glassx-ray tube including filament, copper block & target, step-up & step-down transformer, leadshield to reduce leakage, surrounding oil to facilitate heat removal and aluminium filtration toremove harmful low energy. In addition to this, the second component should be checked byanalysing its sub sections of control panel like main switches, warning lights, timer, warninglights & audible signals of generating x-rays, film speed selector, patient size selector, mains
