ABSTRACT:
A conventional digital panoramic radiographic unit includes sonic or optical three dimensional scanning detector and a color video detector so that when the panoramic x-ray data is obtained, three dimensional contour of the surface of the patient's skin and the outward visual appearance of the patient's skin are also obtained as correlated data sets. The correlated data sets are then stored within a computer system as three sets of simultaneously or near simultaneously taken correlated data. The correlated data is then deconvolved to form a two-dimensional image of the tooth and jaw structure of patient as correlated to the patient's jaw and lip contours and visual appearance from a selected viewpoint.
