The distortion of morphologic object elements, for distortion, at the exposure of a panoramic image has been determined mathematically and experimentally. As models the square, the circle, the rhomb, and the equilateral triangle were used. The general characteristics of the form distortion in narrow beam rotation radiography are analysed and described.
Narrow beam rotation radiography is essentially based on a specific projection technique (HECKMANN 1939, 1967, WELANDER 1974. The rotation centre of the continuously moving beam acts as the functional focus of the projection of the object, usually the jaws. Incorporated in the technique is also the formation of a layer, which, although not tomographic according to definitions given by EDHOLM (1960) and by WELANDER (1975), has certain similarities to a tomographic layer.It was empirically put forward by TAMMISALO & NIEMINEN (1964) that the position of the centre of the sharply depicted object plane is dependent on the ratio between the velocity of the film in relation to the beam and the velocity of the beam in relation to the object. With this as the basis TAMMISALO (1964) analysed mathematically the position and form of the image layer in images exposed with one specific equipment, the Orthopantomograph 2. A mathematical deduction, later on confirmed by ex perimental tests, has shown that the empirical postulation quoted above is correct
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
