Reversed layer position in rotational panoramic radiography.
In rotational panoramic radiography, the image layer is generally positioned between the rotation center of the beam and the film. It is also possible to create a layer that is positioned between the rotation center and the x-ray source. The reversed layer position is useful clinically and gives rise to image properties that are somewhat different from the conventional geometry.
