Embodiment Construction

[0020] figure 1 The basic construction of a typical panoramic x-ray apparatus is shown. according to figure 1 The device comprises a cylindrical body part (11) and a horizontal support arm (12) attached to the body part. Substantially at the other end of the support arm (12), there is arranged an imaging arm (13) called a C-arm, which supports the image information receiver (14) and the radiation source (15). Further, a patient support device (16) is arranged to the main body portion (11).

[0021] The imaging arm (13) is arranged to rotate relative to the support arm (12). In addition, a device configuration suitable for use with the present invention must allow the imaging arm (13) to be positioned in such a way that the imaging device can be positioned for taking side profile images of anatomical structures positioned in the patient support device (16) in such a way that Movement on a horizontal plane. This can be achieved, for example, by having a construct (17) with ...

Abstract

The invention concerns a panoramic x-ray apparatus and a method for positioning a layer to be imaged for dental panoramic x-ray imaging. The x-ray apparatus comprises a radiation source (15) and an image information receiver (14) arranged at a distance from each other at a turnable arm part (13). In the invention, a side profile x-ray image is taken of the frontal area of a dental arch positionedto be imaged, such a vertical tomographic layer of the incisor area is determined from the side profile x-ray image in question that would be optimal in view of the layer becoming imaged sharp in panoramic x-ray imaging of the dental arch and, subsequently, the imaging means (14, 15) are driven during the panoramic exposure in such a way that the layer chosen from the side profile x-ray image becomes imaged sharp in the panoramic x-ray image.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a panoramic x-ray apparatus according to patent claim 1 and a method according to claim 7 for positioning a slice to be imaged for panoramic x-ray imaging. Background technique [0002] Panoramic x-ray imaging is tomographic imaging, tomographic imaging, in which the radiation source and the image information receiver are exposed during the imaging scan so that substantially the dental arch is clearly imaged while other anatomical structures of the skull are altered in the image being formed. To blur such a way to rotate relative to the dental arch. Typically, the imaging scan and associated rotational movement of the imaging device producing the tomographic effect is performed in a horizontal plane, and in some specific imaging modes the tomographic effect can also be produced by moving in part in a plane different from the horizontal plane. A dental panoramic x-ray image shows the dental arch unfolded in a plane. The panora...
