Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a dental head alignment apparatus,

The present invention relates to a dental head sorting apparatus, and more particularly, to a dental head alignment apparatus for dental head alignment apparatus, The present invention relates to a dental head sorting apparatus capable of preventing a ghost image from being generated by photographed support so that inconvenience in image reading and diagnosis of a tooth condition of a recipient can be avoided.

Generally, in the dentistry, an X-ray imaging apparatus capable of performing X-ray imaging is installed to treat teeth and various periodontal diseases, and to grasp the state of the teeth and alveolar bone for the purpose of correction of the dental heat.

An X-ray imaging apparatus used in a dentistry transmits a predetermined amount of X-rays to a part of a body part to be photographed, detects the intensity of the transmitted X-rays, converts it into an electric signal corresponding to the X- At this time, the computer acquires the image by obtaining the intensity of the X-ray of each point of the body imaging region and processing it.

As the above-described X-ray imaging apparatus, an X-ray imaging apparatus for CT (computerized tomography) capable of capturing a three-dimensional stereoscopic image and a panoramic X-ray imaging apparatus capable of imaging in two-dimensional plane are mainly used.

An X-ray imaging apparatus for CT is an imaging apparatus that displays a single-faced image of a body that can not be represented by a normal imaging. The X-ray is projected on a human body while rotating at a constant angle over 360 degrees. The transmitted X- And reconstructs the absorption value of the cross section of the human body to display the image.

In addition, the panoramic X-ray imaging apparatus is a device that can take a panoramic image so that the whole tooth condition and the jaw joint can be seen at a glance by taking an entire image in the circumferential direction around the X-ray generator.

1 is a schematic view showing an example of a conventional X-ray imaging apparatus.

1, a conventional X-ray imaging apparatus includes a pedestal 10, a support column 20, a lift 30, a gantry 40, and a chin support frame 50 .

The pedestal 10 is a portion supported by the bottom surface of the building.

The support pillar 20 is provided on the pedestal 10 and is supported by the pedestal 10 and a sliding rail 21 is extended upward from the upper end.

The elevating portion 30 is vertically moved up and down along the sliding rail 21 of the support pillar 20, and a vertical portion and a horizontal portion are integrally formed and formed in a substantially ' .

An operation unit 31 is provided on a front portion of the elevation unit 30 so that an operator can perform an operation for controlling the dental X-ray imaging apparatus through the operation unit 31. [

The gantry unit 40 is coupled to the lower portion of the horizontal portion of the lifting unit 30 through a rotary shaft 35 so as to be linearly movable and rotatable.

An X-ray source 41 and an X-ray sensor 43 are provided on both sides of the gantry unit 40. An X-ray is emitted from the X-ray source 41, and an X- Is received by the X-ray sensor 43 and converted into an electrical signal.

The electrically converted signal is processed into image data that can be read by the control unit 33 provided inside the gantry unit 40.

The chin support frame 50 is formed to protrude in a lateral direction at a vertical portion of the elevation part 30. The upper surface of the chin support frame 50 is provided with an upper surface for aligning the position of the head of the examinee And an ear rod 52 for fixing the head position by pressing the front side of the head of both sides of the examinee.

However, since the conventional X-ray imaging apparatus is configured such that the ear rod 52 is positioned in a photographing region for acquiring a tooth image of the examinee, as shown in Fig. 3, at the time of taking the panoramic image, There is a problem that a ghost image is displayed because the rod 52 is photographed together with the ghost image. Such a ghost image has a great influence on the degradation of the anterior image.
