CEPHALOMETRICS

Cephalogram - An 8” x 10” radiographic (x-ray) image of the human head, taken from the side, front, back, or from an oblique angle. It shows in detail the angular relationships of facial components and their relationship to the cranial base. Standard distance for cephalometric radiography is 60” (x-ray source-to-midsaggital plane). The keys to an excellent diagnostic-quality image are rigidity and repeatability of the positioning device, a functional and compatible film/screen combination, and sufficient energy from the x-ray source. Wehmer recommends use of 85kVp/10mA or higher x-ray source and rare earth green film/screen systems in conjunction with its cephalometers.
Wehmer Cephalometers can be used with Belmont, GE/Gendex, Keystone, Litton, Lumix, Planmeca, Phillips, Ritter, Sanko, Siemens, SS White, Trophy, Weber, X-Cel, and Yoshida unless otherwise specified. Order the x-ray device separately from your dealer. Adapter cone may be required.

Note: Allow 7’ feet of wall space when selecting an installation site.
