  • Publication number: 20210407159
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for editing a panoramic radiography image of an examination object generated by a panoramic X-ray machine, comprising: an input interface for receiving the panoramic radiography image as well as reconstruction data of the panoramic radiography image, the reconstruction data including information on a course of projection lines of the panoramic radiography image between an X-ray source and an X-ray detector of the panoramic X-ray machine as well as information on an image surface of the panoramic radiography image; an evaluation unit for evaluating the reconstruction data and for determining an image section of the panoramic radiography image that has been generated on the basis of one of the projection lines with two intersection points with the image surface; an image editing unit for editing the panoramic radiography image based on the determined image section; and an output unit for outputting the edited panoramic radiography image.
