Note
X-MIND prime is based on a standard dentition and ascending rami shape.
This shape, based on statistical studies, establishes a form for the
dentomaxillofacial complex, adopted as "standard".
X-MIND prime follows a rototranslation path which maintains the magnification
factor as stated in the Technical Characteristics of each type of exam as
constant along this "standard" shape only along the dentition area. The patient’s
anatomy can differ significantly from the statistical model, so the magnification
factor is not maintained and may be different from the value stated. Based on
experience and competence, the user has to judge this variation.
In any case, TMJ radiography cannot be used to perform calculations of
distances, angles etc. on the film.
