Field Of View
Small Field of View
Usually 5cm x 5cm (length by height) or less. Applications are typically for:
Endodonticsas, as a small FOV is quite sufficient as the area of interest is a single tooth or few teeth.
Medium Field Of View
Usually, 5cm x 7cm, 8cm x 8 cm, 10cm x 5cm, 12 cm x 8 cm and 10cm x 10 cm. There machines can collimate the x-ray beam to a smaller FOV so if you want a single tooth scan, you do not need to scan the entire maxillo-mandibular area. Medium FOV can capture both jaws at a time excluding the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Large Field Of View
Usually, 15cm x 15cm. This is preferred by Oral Surgeons.
Ideal for viewing and evaluating pathology
Surgical evaluation and planning
Airway assessment for sleep apnea.
Extended Field Of View
Usually, 20cm x 20cm. Used mainly by Orthodontists as it captures areas outside the maxilla-mandibular region to include the Sella Turcica and base of the skull..
