Final; Panoramic Radiographic Anatomy Flashcards
What are the three types of images seen in panoramic radiography
single real images
double real images
ghost images
This is seen when only one image results from a given anatomical structure
single real images
Where is the structures located in a single real image
between the rotation center and film; x-ray beam only passes through the structure one time
Most of the images in a panoramic are what type of image
single real image
This is sen when two images of a single object are seen on the radiograph; mostly produced by structures located in the midline
double real images
What structures result in double real images
hard and soft palates
hyoid bone
cervical spine
When is a double real image seen
when he x-ray beam passes through an object twice as the tube he’d rotates around the patient
These are formed by dense objects located between the tube head and the rotation center
ghost images
What can cause a ghost image to form
external objects such as earrings
dense anatomical structures such as the mandible
