title: Panoramic and cephalometric extraoral dental radiograph systems.
abstract: The basic unit is the Orthopantomograph OP100, which is a computer-controlled extraoral imaging system capable of producing panoramic radiographs using either film or digital technology. This unit has automatic exposure control, automatic spine compensation, a patented V-shaped X-ray beam and a built-in quality assurance program. The OP100 is available with cephalometrics (the OC100 model), linear tomography (the Ortho Trans model), identification film marking (the Ortho ID model) and imaging software (the Ortho Zone and Ortho TMJ models). The addition of a cephalometric arm to the Orthopantomograph makes the unit an Orthoceph. The image receptor sizes are as follows: Panorama OP100: cassette 15 x 30 centimeters; Cephalometric image receptor OC100: 24 x 30 cm, 18 x 24 cm, 8 x 10 inches; Panoramic image receptor OP100D: CCD camera, image pixel size 90 x 90 micrometers; Cephalometric image receptor OC100D: CCD camera, image pixel size 90 x 90 microm.
