6.7.1.2 Anatomical parameters
The point of interest, i.e. the point where to perform the tomography, is
based on the statistical model of the dental arch. It is selected using the
standard European mode to number teeth, using two digits. The first
digit defines the quadrant (from 1 to 4) while the second digit identifies
the tooth itself, from 1 to 8. It means that selection of the point of
interest must be done by entering into the unit a two-digit number as
above described.
In case of use of the American standard, which is based on a different
method, see next Figure 21 where both European and American standard
numberings are provided, to find out the number (based on European
standard) to input into the unit.

The linear tomography implemented on STRATO X is based on a
statistical model of dental arch, as defined in international literature.
However, it must be considered that the natural deviation from the model
due to the individual variability can lead to the possibility that the point
of interest may be not perfectly centred on the middle of the tomographic
images.
To overpass that, STRATO X uses the possibility to introduce correcting
factors that allows a better centring of the patient; these factors are
called longitudinal offset and transversal offset.
