Radiologic apparatus called "Panoramix" is described.

The unique feature of Panoramix is a miniature x-ray tube with an extended anode, 10 cm. long and 15 mm. in diameter, which can be placed into body cavities and crevices. Its use in obtaining new projections of the bones of the face, pelvis, hips, anatomic fossae, and small bones and joints is explained and illustrated. For example, all the bones of the face, including all the teeth in the maxilla and mandible, and the temporomandibular joints can be portrayed by a single exposure. Yet the tissue absorption of radiation is less than that obtained with 14 dental roentgenograms. In addition, the increased detail afforded by this apparatus in spite of the image magnification augments information gained from conventional studies.

Our experience so far indicates a promising field of usefulness for this compact, mobile, and flexible roentgenographic equipment.
