bеЦдблЬ
1.2 General information on the use of GALAXIS
Intended use GALAXIS is a software for dental practices and clinics that enables the pre-
paration of three-dimensional volume reconstructions of the maxillofacial re­gion using the GALILEOS dental volume tomograph.
GALAXIS is a component of the GALILEOS system.
The volume reconstructions can be used both for planning and for diagnostic purposes with the help of GALAXIS.
● For example for oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery and ENT medicine.
The GALILEOS system The GALILEOS system comprises:
● X-ray unit
– The X-ray unit produces two-dimensional images of the head region
via a cone beam with a rotation sequence.
● RCU (Reconstruction Control Unit)
– A reconstruction software converts two-dimensional images into a
three-dimensional volume reconstruction.
– The RCU also manages the software licenses.
● GALAXIS workstation(s)
– Enable(s) the creation of a new three-dimensional volume recon-
struction.
(Call to the X-ray unit to create a new image and to the RCU to con­vert this image into a three-dimensional volume reconstruction).
– The three-dimensional volume reconstructions are displayed and
processed via the GALAXIS software.
– Management of the three-dimensional volume reconstructions
(saving them to and retrieving them from the SIDEXIS database).
● SIDEXIS database
– Storage of three-dimensional volume reconstructions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Add-on modules The functionality of GALAXIS can be extended by installing add-on modules
(e.g. "GALILEOS Implant").
Such add-on modules are supplied with a separate user manual and there­fore are not further explained in this manual.

"Panoramic view" workspace Operator's Manual GALAXIS
6.2.4 What is the examination window?
Explanation The display in views is based on a single, three-dimensional vector point in
the reconstructed volume.
● Various different slices of the volume are displayed starting from this vec­tor point, depending on the view concerned.
● At the same time, the vector point is located in the crosshair of the re­spective slice axes.
– For this reason, the crosshair is located at the same position within
the volume in all of the views.
– Depending on the type of view concerned, the vector point is located
either in the center of the view or in the examination window of the view.
– If you navigate through several slices in a view or in the examination
window, the slices in the other views will automatically be adjusted accordingly.
empty
Example:
If you, for example, move the examination window of the panoramic view, the transverse views, the longitudinal view and the curved line in the axial plane will all be altered accordingly.
6.3 "Panoramic view" workspace
Explanation After you start GALAXIS, the selected 3D X-ray image will be displayed in the
classical panoramic view.
In addition to the panoramic view workspace, there is an additional work­space with both a panoramic and a 3D view.
Brief overview In each view, the fine lines of the crosshair indicate the positions in the other
views to which this corresponds.
empty
Example:
● The horizontal line in the examination window indicates the position in the axial plane.
– In this way, all views are allocated to each other and the viewer can
easily find his bearings.
● The axial slice also contains a curved line which indicates the position in the examination window.
NOTICE
Only one view can be active at any given time.

● A yellow, U-shaped region (A) which is used to reconstruct the panoramic view is displayed in this axial plane.
● Located inside of this region (A) is a blue line (B) which defines the man­dibular arch.
Goal of optimization The form, position and size of the U-shaped region (A) are to be optimized in
such a way that a higher quality panoramic view is obtained.
Preview A preview of the panoramic view with the current settings is displayed in the
lower part of the
