Comprehensive oral X-ray diagnosis: Scanora multimodal radiography. A preliminary description

Scanora (Soredex, Orion Corporation, Helsinki, Finland) is a multimodal radiography system which utilizes the principles of narrow beam radiography and spiral tomography. The system includes an integrated multifunction X-ray unit, a coordinate system for object localization and a wide selection of dental and maxillofacial imaging problems. All imaging procedures are computer controlled and executed automatically. Clinical experience and preliminary results show that the multimodal imaging system has great potential in the detection of pathological conditions of the maxillofacial region.
