Note
I-MAX 3D is based on a standard dentition and ascending rami shape.
This shape, based on statistical studies, establishes a form for the dentomaxillofacial
complex, adopted as "standard".
I-MAX 3D follows a rototranslation path which maintains the magnification factor as
stated in the Technical Characteristics of each type of exam as constant along this
"standard" shape only along the dentition area. The patient’s anatomy can differ
significantly from the statistical model, so the magnification factor is not maintained
and may be different from the value stated. Based on experience and competence,
the user has to judge this variation.
IN ANY CASE, RADIOGRAPHY IMAGES CANNOT BE USED TO PERFORM
CALCULATIONS OF DISTANCES, ANGLES ETC. ON THE IMAGE.
