20090162808 | Apparatus in Dental Environment and Method for Controlling a Device Belonging to the Same - The present invention relates to an apparatus used in dental care environment and to a method for controlling a device belonging to the apparatus, especially to hygienic and ergonomic control of a device belonging to the apparatus in connection with dental care work. The invention includes at least one device ( | 06-25-2009 |
20090304148 | Dental Computer Tomographic Imaging - This invention directed to a computer tomography imaging apparatus designed for dental use as well as to methods realizable by it, especially to a method for relative positioning of the imaging means and the patient for imaging. A relevant feature of the computer tomography imaging device according to the invention is an arm construction consisting of turnable arm parts. The use of the construction enables implementation of, particularly, a so-called Cone Beam computer tomography apparatus (CBCT) as lighter, and more inexpensive realization of it, than has been the case regarding CT devices of prior art, especially when thinking of their use in odontology. | 12-10-2009 |
20120087472 | DIGITAL X-RAY DETECTOR ARRANGEMENT AND DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING METHOD - The invention relates to digital imaging implemented using X-radiation and to a detector arrangement designed to be used in such imaging, the operation of said arrangement being based on counters counting signal pulses. In the invention, the detector arrangement comprises switch arrangements which are always connectable to at least two counters and which allow at least one of the counters to be always disconnected from a pixel. It is thus always possible to read out the information from at least one counter while another counter is simultaneously being used for counting signal pulses. The invention provides the advantage that the integration of image information need not be interrupted when information is to be read out from the detector during exposure as a change of the integrating counter can be effected during exposure without losing any image information. | 04-12-2012 |
20120300895 | DENTAL IMAGING APPARATUS - The invention relates to a dental imaging apparatus which includes an x-ray imaging means and at least one colour camera for photographing the face of a patient positioned at the imaging station of the apparatus, which at least one colour camera is arranged to image the patient's face positioned at the patient support station from different directions, and means arranged into functional connection with said at least one colour camera for creating a virtual three-dimensional texture model of the patient's face. | 11-29-2012 |
20120300900 | DENTAL COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY APPARATUS - The invention relates to a dental computed tomography apparatus which includes an x-ray imaging means and at least one colour camera for photographing the face of a patient positioned at the imaging station of the apparatus from different directions and at least one laser or a corresponding lighting arrangement, which is fitted to direct a light pattern at different locations on the face of a patient positioned at the imaging station, and a means arranged into functional connection with said at least one colour camera for creating a virtual three-dimensional surface model from the light-pattern information directed at different locations on the face of the patient positioned at the imaging station, and a means for combining said face image information detected by said at least colour camera to said surface model of the patient's face to create a virtual three-dimensional texture model of the patient's face. | 11-29-2012 |
20130039479 | MEDICAL X-RAY IMAGING APPARATUS WITH A HANDLEBAR FOR PATIENT SUPPORT - The invention relates to a medical x-ray imaging apparatus which includes a support construction ( | 02-14-2013 |
20140010349 | ARRANGEMENT FOR INTRA-ORAL X-RAY IMAGING - The invention relates to an intra-oral x-ray imaging arrangement which includes an imaging sensor ( | 01-09-2014 |
