Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided method of determining precise dental x-ray angulation based on the anatomical dental features of a patient, comprising: capturing one or more images of the teeth of the patient; sending the pictures will be sent to a server; customizing one or more x-ray angles based on algorithmic analysis of the images; displaying a tooth model of the patient on a display screen; representing, on the display screen, the teeth in an initial color; and updating the display to turn the corresponding teeth a final color to indicate completion as an x-ray angulation device achieves the customized angles.

Abstract: Apparatus for aiming e.g. an X-ray camera, for capturing image(s) of a physiology of a patient, and related method, are shown and described. A plurality of light projectors are mounted to the X-ray camera. When projected light beams impinge upon pre-identified reference points on the physiology of the patient, a visual indicator operates to indicate that the X-ray image may be taken. The pre-identified reference points may exist within a microprocessor associated with the X-ray camera, and may be based on an image of the physiology. The microprocessor maps the reference points to small indication areas illuminated by the light projectors. When a predetermined threshold of registration of the indication areas with the reference points exists, the visual indicator operates, whereupon the human operator may operate the X-ray camera.
