2. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
For execution of panoramic X-rays or tomographic examinations, the X-ray device has a rotating arm coupled to a
column support. The rotating arm performs motor-driven rototranslatory movements that allow moving the X-ray
emission system and the image detector around the patient according to complex orbits that follow the morphologic
profile. The rotary arm is fitted on a column support that can slide vertically by means of a motor-driven movement.
The X-ray device position shown in the figures is the Patient Access Position.
The X-ray device can be equipped with a tele- X-ray arm coupled to the column support. The arm hosts a cephalostat
to hold the patient in position during the examination and an image detector that translates synchronised with the X-
ray source movement.
By choice of the user, the X-ray device can be equipped with only one image detector (the operator must then position
it on the rotary arm for the panoramic examinations or on the tele- X-ray arm for teleradiographic examinations (CEPH))
or with two distinct image detectors (which are not removable, one on the rotary arm and the other on the tele-X-ray
arm).
