With digital imaging,the overexposed image may be corrected with the use of computer software;the underexposed image cannot.The exposure time may be adjusted based on the type of image obtained (panoramic,extraoral bite-wing).The structures located within the focal trough appear reasonably well defined on the resulting panoramic image.The structures positioned outside of the focal trough appear blurred or indistinct and are not readily visible on the panoramic image.Patient positioning errors create a distorted image.
