Abstract: Disclosed herein is a panoramic X-ray photographing apparatus and a method for photographing using the same. The present invention relates to the panoramic X-ray photographing apparatus capable of conducting a panoramic photographing without generating X-ray in neck cervical vertebrae part employing a rotary arm driven in 3-axis direction. In case of scanning the neck cervical vertebrae part, a photographing can be conduct without X-ray. As a result, it is possible to prevent an image acquired by the neck cervical vertebrae part from being unclear. Also, an angle of incidence of X-ray at a photographing point can be controlled to be vertical, so that an image distortion phenomenon can be prevented. Furthermore, tempromandibular joint can be photographed at optimum enlargement ratio, thereby acquiring clear image.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an X-ray photographing apparatus that is capable of being automatically transformed to panoramic, CT, and cephalometric photographing apparatuses having corresponding modes in accordance with the mounting or demounting of a panoramic sensor, a CT sensor, or a cephalometric sensor thereon/therefrom, thereby at once performing the photographing for the images being the corresponding modes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a panoramic image acquisition apparatus and method, and, more particularly, to a multilayer panoramic image acquisition apparatus and method, which is capable of acquiring images of a plurality of image layers at a single time by synchronizing sections where X-rays are radiated onto the plurality of image layers located in the areas of interest of a subject.
