The invention relates to a controller () for dental imaging of an object. The controller comprises: at least one processor (), and at least one memory () including computer program code (). The at least one memory () and the computer program code () is configured to, with the at least one processor (), cause the controller () at least to: obtain first image data from an optical scanner unit (); obtain second image data from a dental X-ray imaging unit (); produce a first surface model () from the obtained first image data, wherein the first surface model () represents an optical three-dimensional shape of a surface of a first part of the object; and use the first surface model () to process the obtained second image data. The invention relates also to an imaging system (), a method, a computer program (), and a computer-readable medium for dental imaging of an object.

Controller, a dental imaging system, and a method for dental imaging of an object

An X-ray imaging system () for a Cephalometric dentomaxillofacial X-ray imaging operation. The imaging system comprises a controller (), an X-ray emitter () for emitting X-rays (), primary and secondary collimators () for collimating the X-rays, an X-ray receiver () for receiving the X-rays from the emitter, and a positioner () for positioning an object () to be imaged. The controller is configured to select () one of one-shot and scanning Cephalometric imaging operations and to control the emitter to emit X-ray radiation () and the receiver to receive the emitted radiation in order to acquire () an X-ray image data (ID) in the selected imaging operation.
