Note
The new 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 and in the dentition area. The patient’s anatomy can differ
significantly from the statistical model, so the magnification factor is not
maintained and can be different from the value stated. Based on his experience
and competence, the user has to judge this variation.
IN ANY CASE, RADIOGRAPHY IMAGES CANNOT BE USED TO PERFORM
CALCULATIONS OF DISTANCES, ANGLES ETC. ON THE IMAGE.
Warning
The measurement of lengths on digital images depends on the specific length
calibration of the programme used.
It is therefore very important to check the length calibration of the programme.
With panoramic exams, to obtain the measurement of the anatomical part,
taking into consideration the enlargement factor, the length calibration factor is
100 pixels = 7.8 mm (in the centre of the focus layer).
