Scanora (Soredex, Orion Corporation, Helsinki, Finland) is a multimodal radiography system which utilizes the principles of narrow beam radiography and spiral tomography. The system includes an integrated multifunction X-ray unit, a coordinate system for object localization and a wide selection of dental and maxillofacial imaging problems. All imaging procedures are computer controlled and executed automatically. Clinical experience and preliminary results show that the multimodal imaging system has great potential in the detection of pathological conditions of the maxillofacial region.
The use of the modulation transfer function in rotational panoramic radiography is described. The separate and combined effects of the various system components are discussed.
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.
