Orthopantomograph (OPG),
• Two dimensional images when radiographs of the entire set of
teeth are required
• The image receptor and the X ray source are external to the
patient
• The X ray beam is transmitted through the head - demanding
significant X ray generation power and complex motion control for
the X ray tube and image receptor
• Image receptors are film or digital detectors

OPG (Orthopantomograph)
An OPG image is created by complex equipment where
the X ray tube and image receptor assembly move in a
horizontal plane around the head of the patient.

Cone-beam CT
CT imaging has been used for some time in dentistry,
including the use of custom designed units for dental
applications.
Their use has become more widespread recently with the
advent of cone beam technology

Cone-beam CT (continued)
There are many cone beam CT (CBCT) models available
using a variety of acquisition schemes
They have in common a flat panel detector for acquisition,
typically using either DR technology or an intensifying
screen with a CCD camera (see chapter 7).

Cone-beam CT (continued)
Typically a CBCT can acquire a full field of view (FOV) that
covers the whole head
• although acquisitions that are restricted to the mandible with as
little as 10% of full FOV are possible.
The use of these lower cost CT units opens up new
potentials in some areas of dental diagnosis
However they have significantly higher dose compared to
OPG procedures

Illustration of Tomosynthesis
• The X ray tube moves at a
constant speed to the right
• The image receptor moves at a
constant speed to the left.
• In this figure 4 samplings of the
image are shown at tube positions
A, B, C and D.
• Tomographic images focused on
planes I, II and III are created by
combining the 4 sampled images
with appropriate offsets
