This document discusses panoramic imaging and provides information on its indications, principles, focal trough, limitations, advantages, and disadvantages. The key principles discussed are that panoramic imaging involves rotating the x-ray beam and film around two centers of rotation to produce an image, and that there is a focal trough or zone of optimal focus and detail where objects appear sharp. While it provides a broad view of facial bones and teeth, it has limitations such as poor anatomical detail and overlapping structures.
