<p>This invention relates to a motion mechanism for moving an X-ray film in a panoramic X-ray machine in a predetermined pattern and rate of travel relative to a source of radiation. The mechanism includes a cassette holder on which is carried a rotatable rod or roller driven by a traction wheel, a lever assembly for changing the drive angle between the traction wheel and the rod and a moving or rotatable supporting column or structure on which the motion mechanism is mounted. The panoramic X-ray machine also has a radiation source suspended from one end of the supporting structure at a position opposite the cassette holder. The object or patient to be radiographed is placed between the radiation source and the cassette holder and the supporting structure is rotated at a selected rotational speed about the object.</p> |
