5.4 Note on constant magnification for Panoramic and
TMJ (mouth open/closed) examinations
NOTE:
The I-Max Touch 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".
The I-Max Touch follows a rototranslation path which maintains constant
the magnification factor stated in the Technical Characteristics of each
type of exam 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 can be different from
the value stated. Based on his experience and competence, the user has
to judge this variation.
IN ANY CASE, THE RADIOGRAPHY IMAGES CANNOT BE USED TO
PERFORM CALCULATIONS OF DISTANCES, ANGLES ETC. ON THE
IMAGE.
