User's Manual (2D)
Lateral non-rotational sinus exposure in the middle of the
jaw. Exposure can be taken from the left or right jaw side.
There are two methods available: digital tomography and
digital transtomography.
Digital tomography uses a one sweep method. A narrow
radiation beam makes one sweeping movement and the
rotation center moves simultaneously along the image
layer. The layer thickness cannot be adjusted.
Digital transtomography uses a multiple sweep method.
The radiation beam makes a pendular movement along
the image layer. The layer thickness can be adjusted.
Digital
transtomography
NOTE Vertical artefacts caused by high contrast objects may
be visible in transtomography when a layer thickness
of 1mm is used. Select a thicker layer to avoid this.
