摘要:
The present invention is related to system and method for capturing dental images, for example, an aiming and positioning device for capturing dental images of a patients teeth using a collimator. The system includes an image receptor holding device with an elongated arm adapted to receive and couple the receptor holder to a collimation structure. The elongated arm extends between the collimator and the receptor holder with one end coupling to the rear portion of the receptor holder and another end coupling to the collimator, and aligns the receptor with the collimator opening in an unobstructed manner. A biting portion or surface is present on the elongated arm adjacent to the receptor holder such that when the receptor is positioned behind the teeth on which the images are being taken, the biting surface is gripped by the teeth of the patient.
