4 Imaging programs
The second view (#2 in the figure) produces an image of the anterior region with a very
wide layer of focus (approx. 35 mm). This view may be helpful when diagnosing trauma,
wired shut, severe class III malocclusion and uncooperative patients.

Orthogonal: Magnification 1.3
An optimized view of the dentition only with optimized angulation and reduced radiation.
Orthogonal program produces a panoramic view with modified projection geometry. The
Y axis of the rotation path is changed to improve the beam angle to be closer to 90° to
the interproximal surfaces. With this improvement, other trade-offs must be made. The
ascending rami may be lost with adult patients and redundant shadows will be increased.
