2. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The X-ray device consists of a rotary arm fitted on a column support for carrying out panoramic X-rays or
tomographic examinations. The rotary arm features roto-translation motorised movements which allow moving X-ray
emission system and image detector around the patient, according to complex orbits following the morphological
profile. The rotary arm is applied on a column support which can slide vertically through a motorised movement. The
X-ray device position shown in the figures is the Patient Access Position.
The X-ray device can feature a tele-X-ray arm, fitted on the column support. The arm houses a cephalostat, which
keeps the patient position during the exam, and the image detector which translates in synchronisation with the X-ray
source movement.
At user’s choice, the X
-ray device can be equipped with a single image detector (thus the operator must position it on
the rotary arm for panoramic X-rays or on the tele-X-ray arm for tele-X-ray examinations - CEPH) or with two
separate image detectors (which cannot be moved, one on the rotary arm and the other on the tele-X-ray arm).
