  • Patent number: 7775713
    Abstract: An arrangement for dental imaging having an intraoral sensor, which receives radiation at the moment of exposure for providing image data. The intraoral sensor comprises a housing (1), which encloses a detector and electronics and an orientation sensor (5), which senses orientation of the intraoral sensor at the moment of imaging to provide orientation information. A display unit (6, 7) and data transfer elements (3, 4), are connected to the detector and electronics for transmitting the image data and orientation information to the display unit. The display unit has image processing software, which processes the image data and utilizes the orientation information relevant to the image data for having an image to be presented on a display unit shown the right way.
