Patent ID: 8102965

Claim:
A panoramic recording device for a panoramic X-ray machine—comprising: a cartridge unit which has a recording slit, an X-ray detection device which is arranged behind the recording slit, and a position acquisition means to capture the position of the cartridge unit, wherein the detection device includes at least one detector row which is shaped according to the shape of the recording slit, wherein the position acquisition means provides an electrical output signal which corresponds to a rotary position, and wherein output signals of the detector row and the position acquisition means are transmitted wirelessly to a processing unit wherein the detector row is in the form of a narrow array, and wherein the detector row includes a readout circuit and said readout circuit shifts pixel information of the array associated with each individual detector row, which runs parallel to the recording slit, according to the output signal of the position acquisition means and wherein the shifted pixels are added in correct columns, to obtain an image column with improved signal/noise ratio.
