Abstract
An extra-oral dental imaging system comprises an X-ray source () and an imaging device () suitable for producing multiple frames during at least part of an exposure of an object (), the imaging device () being displaced along a scanning direction (X). A method for creating a cephalometric image of a human skull comprises a step of setting said imaging device () with an active area having in an imaging plane a width extending along said scanning direction (X), said width varying along a height direction perpendicular to said scanning direction (X); a step of synchronously displacing the X-ray source () and the imaging device () along said exposure profile; and a step of registering multiple frames produced by the imaging device () during the exposure of said object () to be imaged. Using for creating a cephalometric image by digital tomosynthesis.
