Abstract
A dental x-ray diagnostics installation for producing panorama tomograms of the jaw of a patient has clocked CCD sensors which generate electrical signals proportional to the radiation intensity thereon, and which are operated at a speed to simulate a moving x-ray film. For the purpose of simultaneously acquiring exposures of a number of different jaw slices at different depths of field during one exposure, at least some of the CCD columns are driven with different clock frequencies by separate clock inputs.
