Abstract: This application describes dental X-ray devices and systems that use a rotating X-ray source to take two-dimensional (2D) images from multiple angles and then reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) image using those 2D images. The X-ray imaging system contains an X-ray head with an X-ray source configured to rotate within the X-ray head, an X-ray detector and an aligner containing a proximal portion removably connected to the X-ray head, a distal portion configured to hold the X-ray detector, and an extender connecting the proximal and distal portions. The aligner is configured to rotate while attached to the front of the X-ray head, keeping the X-ray sensor aligned with the X-ray source as it rotates within the X-ray head and keeping the sensor at the same distance relative to the X-ray source when each X-ray image is captured by the sensor. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: Supporting devices for small and portable X-ray devices are described. In particular, this application describes supporting devices for portable X-ray devices containing a movable base unit with multiple legs with different lengths and heights configured so that the legs have a nestable configuration, an adjustable member extending from the mobile base unit so the adjustable member has an adjustable height, an extension arm connected to the adjustable member so the extension arm collapses toward and extends away from the adjustable member, and a connecting member connecting the extension arm with a portable x-ray device so the connecting member can rotate up to 360 degrees in the x, y, or z direction. The connecting member can also connect the extension arm with a portable x-ray device so the portable x-ray device is removable from the connecting member and capable of being operated independently by hand. Other embodiments are described.
