Cephalometric programs
NOTICE!
These programs are available only for cephalometric devices.
Cephalometric programs provide projection images of patient skull and dental anatomy. Images are
utilized in orthodontics and general diagnostics.
NOTICE!
The image field dimensions shown here are for illustrative purposes only.
Cephalometric lateral projection
The lateral projection uses a full height image field that provides a nearly full skull image.
You can adjust the width of the image field by dragging the slider control on the
cephalometric view. The available image field widths, represented at the image plane,
are 16-26 cm. The image field starts at the center of the ear rods with the smallest image
width selection.
The exposure time depends on the width of the selected image field.
Cephalometric pediatric lateral projection
The pediatric lateral projection is a lateral projection with a reduced image height,
optimized for pediatric patients.
The program can also be used for adult patients to reduce the radiation dose when
imaging of the upper part of the skull is not neccessary. The pediatric lateral projection
covers all typical cephalometric landmarks from the glabella to the spine.
You can adjust the width of the image field by dragging the slider control on the
cephalometric view. The available image field widths, represented at the image plane,
are 16-26 cm. The image field starts at the center of the ear rods with the smallest image
width selection.
The exposure time depends on the width of the selected image field.
