This document discusses panoramic radiography and the reverse panoramic technique. It provides a brief history of panoramic radiography and describes the principles of how the technique works using reciprocal movement of the x-ray source and image receptor while keeping the patient stationary. The document outlines the procedure for taking a reverse panoramic radiograph and notes that it allows for a clear less distorted view of the lateral aspect of the condyle. However, it requires critical patient positioning. The document concludes that the reverse technique exposes patients to less radiation dose than the standard panoramic technique, especially in areas like the eyes, TMJ and neck.
