title: A multimodal unit for comprehensive dento-maxillofacial radiography.
abstract: Using the Scanora radiography unit, most radiographic examinations in the dento-maxillofacial region can be rapidly performed to produce exceptionally high quality images. The Scanora unit uses the principles of narrow beam radiography and spiral tomography. Starting with a panoramic overview as a scout image, a large number of dental and maxillofacial imaging procedures and projections can be selected, all of which are computer controlled and automatically executed. The authors provide examples from their experience with over 10,000 patients and more than 30,000 examinations.
