5.6 Positioning the panoramic curve
The panoramic curve (the middle of the three, alternatively five, curves which appear in the axial view) is generated automatically after importing CT data. It is possible to manually adjust it.
This can be done by using the slider to identify an axial slice which shows the complete arch/ridge of the patient's jaw. If necessary, it is possible to switch the display mode of the axial slice to an X-ray display by clicking the button. The curve as a whole can be shifted by dragging the red handle, and the width of the curve can be adjusted by dragging any yellow handle. Dragging the yellow handle within the curve decreases/increases the curve. By dragging any of the grey handles along the curve the user can align the curve in position as desired.
Alternatively the entire curve can be redrawn by pressing the "Draw dental curve" button. The user can left-click periodically as the mouse moves around the arch (from left to right), placing dots. The software will connect the dots to draw the panoramic curve. When the curve is complete, simply double click, or click on the "Draw dental curve" button again, or press "Esc".
