We use a very similar system here at work to take flash radiographs of
explosively-driven experiments. It sure beats film for turnaround time. We
also have systems that use CCD digital cameras to image scintillators that
turn the x-rays to visible light. I'd guess this is how the new dental
imaging systems work too, but I don't know anything about them. The place I
work at most of the time doesn't even use x-rays, instead it uses protons to
take 30-some radiographs at up to 6 million frames per second or so.
