The company was started in 1964 as Palomex Oy to manufacture the Orthopantomograph®, a device for making panoramic radiographs invented by Finnish professor Yrjö Paatero. The device made possible to take a panoramic X-ray dental image in a single exposure.
A panoramic radiograph is a panoramic scanning dental X-ray of the upper and lower jaw.It shows a two-dimensional view of a half-circle from ear to ear. Panoramic radiography is a form of focal plane tomography; thus, images of multiple planes are taken to make up the composite panoramic image, where the maxilla and mandible are in the focal trough and the structures that are superficial and ...
A panoramic film, able to show a greater field of view, including the heads and necks of the mandibular condyles, the coronoid processes of the mandible, as well as the nasal cavity and the maxillary sinuses. Panoramic X-ray radiography of the teeth of a 64-year-old male shows dental work performed mostly in UK/Europe in last half of 20th century
GE Healthcare Technologies, Inc. is an American health technology company based in Chicago, Illinois.The company, which stylizes its own name as GE HealthCare, operates four divisions: Medical imaging, which includes molecular imaging, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, women’s health screening and X-ray systems; Ultrasound; Patient Care Solutions, which is focused on remote patient ...
Plain X-ray of the wrist and hand. In the clinical context, "invisible light" medical imaging is generally equated to radiology or "clinical imaging". "Visible light" medical imaging involves digital video or still pictures that can be seen without special equipment. Dermatology and wound care are two modalities that use visible light imagery.
This section from a panoramic X-ray film depicts the teeth of the lower left quadrant, exhibiting generalized severe bone loss of 30–80%. The red line depicts the existing bone level, whereas the yellow line depicts where the gingiva was located originally (1–2 mm above the bone), prior to the person developing periodontal disease.
Taking an X-ray image with early Crookes tube apparatus, late 1800s. Radiography's origins and fluoroscopy's origins can both be traced to 8 November 1895, when German physics professor Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered the X-ray and noted that, while it could pass through human tissue, it could not pass through bone or metal.

Single-shot multi-contrast x-ray imaging is an efficient and a robust x-ray imaging technique which is used to obtain three different and complementary types of information, i.e. absorption, scattering, and phase contrast from a single exposure of x-rays on a detector subsequently utilizing Fourier analysis/technique.
