- ABSTRACT [21] APPL 0 5 X-ray apparatus for taking panoramic radiographs of structures, such as teeth, arranged in an arcuate line without shifting the subject.
- the X-ray source and film carrier are mounted [52] US. Cl. ..250/6l.5, 250/50, 250/65 R, on a common suppen which is adapted to revolve about the 250/70 subject while the axis of revolution is driven in an arcuate path [51] Int. Cl.
- This invention relates to X-ray apparatus for taking panoramic radiographs of parts and structures which arranged within a subject along an arcuate line, for example, the teeth, the jaws, the skull. More particularly, this invention relates to radiographic apparatus for taking full mount X-rays by means of a film plate located outside the mouth, all without shifting the patient during the exposure scanning process or without making abrupt position shifts of the apparatus itself to accommodate for the complex arch of the teeth.
- the present invention concems a dental radiographic apparatus in which there is no shifting of the patient whatsoever and in which a smooth and continuous traverse of the dental arch is performed to effect exposure along a line substantially normal to the curvilinear line of the teeth from a single setup position.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a panographic X-ray apparatus for taking a continuous radiograph .of stationary structures arranged along an 'arcuate path within a body while always orienting the exposure axes substantially normal to the curvilinear line of the structures.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide apanographic dental X-ray apparatus in which acontinuous radiograph is produced without being subject to interfering shadows of intermediate structures.
- Yet another object of this invention is to provide a panographic dental X-ray apparatus in which adjustment can be made for variations in the dental arch.
- Yet still another object of this invention is to provide a dental X-ray apparatus for taking extra-oral panographic radiographs of teeth of children or adults.
- a still further object of this invention is to provide an extraoral dental panographic X-ray apparatus in which a continu-' ous radiograph of the entire dental arch is obtained with a single pass without shifting the patient or without being subject to obscuring influences of the spinal column structure.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a panoramic exposure dental X-ray apparatus embodying this invention.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged side elevational view of the X-ray source and film carrier yoke which is rotatable by a drive assembly embodied in this invention 'about an axis orbiting in a circular path.

- FIG. 8 is a schematic view showing the circular path transcribed by the X-ray source-film carrier with respect to the arch of the teethwhen actuated by the drive assembly of the FIG. 2embodiment.
- FIG. 9 is a schematic view showing the elliptical path transcribed by the X-ray source-film carrier when actuated by the modified drive assembly of FIG. 7.
- the instant invention includes a frame, generally designated as A, a yoke B which supports an X-ray source C and a film carrier D in spaced disposition respect to each other, and a drive assembly,
- E for orbiting the yoke about a rotating axis and revolving the axis about a curvilinear line which transcribes a closed loop path.
- the X-ray source C and the film carrier D are caused to revolve orbitally about the head of a patient who remains fixed in position while the centerline of the orbit continuously moves through an arcuate path approximating the arch of the patients teeth.
- the frame A is generally conventionalin construction and comprises a wheeled base 10 which carries electrical controls housed in a cabinet 12 and an upstanding column 14 on which is supported a vertically adjustable trolley or carriage 16.
- a horizontal boom l8 cantilevers outwardly from the vertically adjusting carriage l6 and bridges over the patient who is seated in a chair 20 usually on a stationary foundation with his head restrained in chinrest 21.
- a platform 22 at the end of the boom 18 supports the drive assembly E while a pedestal 24 mounted as a shroud over the platform carries an electric motor-gear reducer unit 26 which actuates the drive assembly E.
- the yoke B is suspended from an orbiting rotary shaft 28 depending from the drive assembly E.
- the drive assembly E comprises an upper rotatable casing portion 30 which carries an upstanding stem 32.
- the stem 32 is directly connected to the shaft of the motor drive unit 26 through coupling 34 so that the casing 30 rotates therewith.
- the lower periphery of the casing 30 includes an outwardly divergent flange 36 which is secured by circumfcrentially spaced,,screws 38 to a circular disk 40 which acts as a thrust race.
- the disk 40 is slidably supported at its outer margin upon a ball bearing lower race 42 which is secured upon an internal shoulder 44 formed within a lower housing 46.
- a dust ring 48 having peripheral threads complementary with internal threads in the lower housing 46 is threaded therein and urges upper ball bearing race 50 into slidable engagement with the upper margin of the disk 40.
- Affixed about an offcenter aperture in: the disk 40 and upwardly projecting therefrom is a sleeve bearing 52 which rotatably supports the yoke drive shaft 28.
- a cup 54 at the upper portion of the sleeve 52 has a ball bearing 55 which rotatably carries and supports the upper part of the drive shaft 28 while the medial portion of the shaft 28 is rotatably joumaled by bushing 56.
- Affixed by setscrews 58 to an intermediate portion of the drive shaft 28 adjacently below the bushing 56 is a spur gear 60.
- the spur gear 60 acts as a planetary gear in that its teeth intermesh with those of a stationary internal gear 62 which has a centrally disposed aperture.
- the internal gear 62 is secured to a retainer ring 64 which is affixed within the lower portion of the housing 46.
- the housing 46 itself is secured to the platform 22 above an opening therein by a plurality of screws 66 extending through a flanged portion 47.
- the yoke B includes a bracket 70 from which both the X- ray source C and the film carrier D depend.
- a tubular member 72 is retained in the bracket and holds a mount 74 at its terminus for pivoting the X-ray tube C about a horizontal axis 76 or about an axis normal thereto as defined by arm 78.
- the film carrier D is supported on the bracket 70 diametrically opposite to the X-ray source C and is best shown in FIGS. 2 and 5.
- a shroud portion 80 defines a support for the camera casing 82 and includes a pulley 84 over which passes a cable 86 for actuating the film carriage 88.
- the front wall 90 of the casing 82 is made of radiopaque material, such as lead, and includes a vertical slit 92 centrally disposed therein.
- the rear of the casing 82 has a hinged door 94 for gaining access to the interior for loading and unloading the film cassette into the carriage 88.
- the cassette carriage 88 is suspended from a rail 96 by suitable rollers 98 to permit the film cassette itself to be carried past the exposure slit 92.
- the lower end of the cable 86 is attached at 100 to the left-hand end of the carriage 88 after passing over a lower pulley 102.
- a wire cord 104 from spring motor 106 biases the carriage 88 to the left.
- the cable 86 drives the carriage 8 8 and its film cassette from left to right as shown in FIG. 2 at a predetermined speed past the slit 92 in accordance with the following pattern.
- the upper end of the cable 86 is affixed to a cam 110 after passing over idler pulleys 112 and 114.
- the cam 110 is rotatably supported on bearing 116 carried about the drive shaft 28 but is held stationary thereon by restraining arm 118.
- One end of the restraining arm 118 is affixed to the cam 110 while the other end has a pin 120 slidably engaging longitudinal slot 122 in a pivot limiting guide 124 secured to the underside of boom 18.
- the slot 122 accommodates for the arcuate path of travel transcribed by the drive shaft 28 but restricts the degree of pivotal motion of the cam 110 on the shaft. Accordingly, as the yoke B revolves about the patient's head, the cable 86 winds upon the grooved periphery of the cam 110 so as to draw the cassette carriage 88 past the slit 92 and successively expose the film.
- the patient is seated in the chair 20 with his head restrained against movement by chin rest 21 while the X-ray source C and film carrier D are oriented along line I-I'.
- the position of the axis of shaft 28 substantially registers with point I such that the first exposure through slit 92 will be of rear molar T1.
- the shaft 28 of the yoke B rotates about its own axis while revolving smoothly and continuously through the arc defined by circle III'IX'XVI'.
- the cassette carriage 88 moves the film successively past the slit to expose the respective teeth T1 through T16 inclusive to the beam of X-rays.
- the rate of travel of the drive shaft 28 may either be slowed down at the arc position of teeth T8 and T9 by appropriate controls of the drive motor unit 26 or the voltage to the X-ray tube stepped up, again by suitable circuitry to provide a greater intensity of the X-ray beam.
- the exposure of the teeth T1 through T16 takes place while the axis of the shaft 28 continuously revolves substantially through a semicircular are starting with point I' and terminating with XVI, the intermediate points representing zones rather than stops since the panoramic exposure occurs while the X-ray source C and the carrier D are making their sweep.
- the pitch diameter of'theplanetary gear 60 is Vii-inch and intermeshes with an internal gear 62 whose pitch diameter is 3 inches.
- a ratio of pitch diameters produces slightly more than a full rotation .of the planetary spur gear 60 as it traverses through a half-circle of the internal gear 62.
- the direction of cxpos ure line I-I with respect to tooth Tl as well as the intermediate exposure lines through XVIXVI with respect to the corresponding teeth are always in phase as shown by the respective arrows; Note that the direction of the lines of exposureis approximately normal to the arch of the teeth without shifting the chair 20 in which the patient is seated, without shifting the position of the patient's head, or without shifting the X-ray apparatus 'itself once it has been set up.
- FIG. 9 there is shown an elliptical path of travel for the axis of the drive shaft 28 to correspond more closely with the arch of the teeth.
- the lines of exposure I "-I through XVI-XVI" are oriented more perpendicular to the arch of the teeth thereby eliminating shadows created by overlapping teeth where the exposure lines would angularly pass through two or more adjacent teeth.
- the means for altering the path of travel is best shown in FIGS. 7 and 7A. Instead of connecting the yoke B directly to the drive shaft 28, the yoke is coupled to an adjustable eccentric or crank assembly E1.
- the crank assembly E1 includes a slotted block 130 which is affixed to the drive shaft 28. Slidably supported in the slot of the block 130 is a slide member 132 which can be shifted by a screw 134. The screw 134 is threadedly engaged through the slide member 132 and axially restrained within the ends of the block 130 so that shaft 28A can be oriented eccentrically on either side of the axis of shaft 28 or in exact registration therewith. It is preferable to orient the slide crank E1 and its slot substantially parallel with the line of the tubehead C- and film carrier D.
- orienting the block 132 to the right of the center line of the shaft 28 will cause the shaft 28A to transcribe an elliptical path shown in solid lines whose major axis conforms with that shown in FIG. 9.
- Adjustment of the block 132 by screw 134 to the position where the axis of the shaft 28A is to the left of shaft 28 causes the major axis of the ellipse to be shifted as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 9.
- a vernier scale on the block and slide 132 denotes the degree of eccentricity whereby the path of revolution of the yoke B can be varied to suit the particular arch of the teeth being radiographed, for example to correspond with the narrow arch of children or to that of a wide-jawed adult.
- X-ray apparatus for producing panoramic radiographs of structures arcuately disposed along a generally curvilinear arch comprising a frame, an X-ray source, a film carrier, means constituting a yoke supporting said X-ray source and said film carrier in spaced disposition with respect to each other along an exposure line passing through the arch of the arcuately disposed structures, and drive means in said frame for rotating said yoke about an axis in a predetermined rotary direction while at the same time continuously displacing said axis orbitally in the opposite rotary direction along an arcuate path located within the arch of the arcuately disposed structures without shifting said structures, said drive means including a stationary gear, a planetary gear in intermeshing engagement with said stationary gear and means for rotating said planetary gear with respect to said stationary gear.
