Title: Timo Nieminen: Innovator in Panoramic X-Ray Technology
Introduction
Timo Nieminen is a notable inventor based in Helsinki, Finland. He has made significant contributions to the field of imaging technology, particularly in panoramic X-ray photography. With a total of 6 patents to his name, Nieminen's work has advanced the methods and apparatus used in medical imaging.
Latest Patents
Nieminen's latest patents include a "Method of and apparatus for recording and reproducing image information." This invention relates to a method and apparatus for recording image information in panoramic X-ray photography. The total information contained in a beam of X-rays that penetrates through an object is recorded on a memory disc, which has a configuration similar to that of the object being imaged, such as a dental arch. The memory disc remains stationary during filming relative to the object, allowing for the production of layerwise reproduced images of desired layers. The preparation of these reproduced images can be performed using a principle similar to conventional panoramic tomography, with the distinction that the object being imaged is a memory disc.
Another significant patent is the "Method of photographing an object with a panoramic X-ray apparatus." This invention describes a method for photographing a desired object using a panoramic X-ray apparatus equipped with automatic exposure. The method involves detecting a cone of rays that penetrate through an object before the actual filming begins. After detection, the filming is conducted using a cone of rays directed to bypass a detector.
