5 Imaging programs
Cephalometric Posterior-Anterior (PA) projection
PA projection imaging can be used, for example, to identify any facial asymmetries,
dentoalveolar asymmetries, dental crossbite and mandibular displacement.
In PA projections, the patient faces away from the tubehead to keep the radiation dose to
patient's eyes in minimal level.
PA projection uses a full height image field.
Carpus view (optional)
The carpus view can be used, for example, to determine the patient's bone age for
orthodontic treatment planning.
The carpus view program requires a separate optional carpus holder to be attached to the
device.
