Patent ID: 8005186

Claim:
A dental complex imaging system comprising: a base seated on the ground; a chair part disposed on the upper portion of the base for allowing a patient to wait for imaging with him/her seated thereon; a pole mounted on the base so as to be adjacent to the chair part; a support part adapted to extend toward the patient from the top of the pole; an expanding and contracting part pivotally coupled to the underside of the support part so as to be expanded and contracted; a radiation generator part disposed below one side of the expanding and contracting part and moving according to expansion and contraction of the expanding and contracting part for emitting radiation selected according to an imaging mode that includes cephalography and at least one of CT imaging and panoramic radiography; a radiation detecting part disposed on the other side of the expanding and contracting part in such a way as to be opposed to the radiation generator part for detecting radiation selectively emitted from the radiation generator part according to the selected imaging mode; and a control part for reading imaging information detected by the radiation detecting part, wherein the radiation generator part is disposed to slide so as to adjust a distance between the radiation generator part and the radiation detecting part according to the imaging mode; wherein two different imaging modes are performed consecutively while the patient remains positioned on the chair part whereby the imaging system is capable of performing two different imaging modes sequentially while the patient remains positioned on the chair part.
