PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a panoramic image that accurately, without distortion, depicts the entire jaw denture structure, including the teeth, sinus floor, and mandibular condyles.SOLUTION: This invention relates to a method and a system for generating a panoramic X-ray image by a step (58) of obtaining volumetric X-ray image data having a first plurality of slices, a step (62) of segmenting the X-ray image data into a first portion above a vertical threshold and a second portion below the vertical threshold, and a step of separating the second portion into a second plurality of slices. Further, the method and the system include a step (72) of generating a plurality of curves for each slice in the second plurality of slices, a step of generating a master arch for the second plurality of slices, and a step of generating a panoramic image on the basis of the master arch. |
