Abstract
An imaging system for producing a panoramic radiograph of a patient's jaw for dental analysis includes an X-ray source (2) carried at one end of an arm (1) and detector means (7) at the other end. The front surface of the detector means (7) carries scintillator material (8) which substantially solely defines the area of the detector means at which the image information is captured. The secondary diaphragm or slot used in conventional panoramic X-ray imaging systems can thus be omitted, giving a less complicated system.
