Q

what are the disadvantages of Pano over FMX?

A

lower resolution
overlap of premolars
unequal magnification so measurements are not reliable

Q

are structures further to the source projected higher or lower?

17
Q

how are the colors found?

A

yellow = lingual (closer to source)
blue = middle
green = buccal (closer to source)

18
Q

how is horizontal magnification determined?

A

position of object within the focal trough

19
Q

the giant tooth blurry tooth is positioned how?

A

lingual because it is wider

20
Q

do you have more degrees of magnification in the anterior or posterior?

21
Q

2 identical objects in both anterior and posterior, will they have the same horizontal magnification?

A

no it will vary

22
Q

where are real images located?

A

between CoR and receptor

23
Q

this is every anatomical structure positioned between CoR and receptor

A

real imaegs

24
Q

these are located between the CoR and the source

A

ghost images

25
what objects cast a ghost image?
inferior border of mandible, angle, ramus, jelewry, apron, cervical spine, palate
26
what are the 4 characteristics of ghost images?
appear on opposite side appear higher appear more blurry vertical dimension is highly magnified
27
what is images do you see here?
ghost of palate ghost of inferior border of mandible
28
no because sensor does not go in front
29
ghost image of lead apron
30
ghost of cervical spine
31
these are objects that lie posterior to CoR and are intercepted 2 times
double real images
32
what is the positioning order for the Pano?
remove jelewry put on lead apron bite on biteblock groove sit upright align central laser line align frankfurt horizontal plane close side guides have patient swallow, close lips, tongue on roof of palate take image
33
if the patient is slumped, what happens?
cervical spine too opaque
34
the frankfurt horizontal plane runs through
tragus to infraorbital forament
35
where is the horizontal and vertical magnification equal?
central plane of the image layer
36
what causes a double real image of the cervical spine?
too far forward
37
ghost image of lead apron is caused by
apron behind patients neck
