Abstract: The invention concerns a method for a dentomaxillofacial X-ray imaging. It is provided an X-ray beam (15) having a first radiation spectrum and a flat cross-sectional form towards a predetermined dentomaxillofacial area (Q) of a patient (P), and an image receptor (8) in a carrier (7) positioned outside the head of a patient. During a first exposure said X-ray beam and said carrier with the inserted image receptor are moved in a first rotational or linear direction, whereupon a first image of the dentomaxillofacial area is created on said image receptor. Then it is provided an X-ray beam having a second radiation spectrum and the flat cross-sectional form. During a second exposure said X-ray beam and said carrier with the same image receptor are moved in a second rotational or linear direction that is e.g. opposite to said first direction, whereupon a second image of the same dentomaxillofacial area is created on said image receptor.
