Disclosed is an intraoral radiological imaging sensor. The sensor comprises an electronics substrate and an imaging chip held within a housing. The imaging chip has electronics that create a dead space (9). The sensor also comprises a cable (6) attached to the housing at a cable button connector (11). The sensor has a generally rectangular shape with a mesial side towards which the cable (6) exits the cable button connector (11) and a distal side opposite which the cable (6) exits the cable button connector (11). The electronics are disposed within the housing such that the majority of the dead space (9) is created in the distal side of the sensor.
