X-Ray Microbeam Pellet Placement



Two nose pellets (MAXN, MAXG) and a maxillary incisor (MAXI) pellet are used as references data translation to a cranial coordinate system. Jaw articulation is tracked via pellets on the mandibular incisor (MANI) and mandibular molar (MANM). Soft tissue pellets are placed on upper lip (UL), lower lip (LL), tongue tip (TT), two on the tongue blade (TB1, TB2), and tongue dorsum (TD).
