X-VIEW 3D PAN is a cone-beam computed tomography system, or CBCT system that uses a cone-shaped X-Ray beam to take pictures of the skull and teeth. The system uses those pictures, along with the digital processing software (Deep-View), to reconstruct 3D images.

X-VIEW 3D PAN is essentially a digital X-Ray scanner mounted on a rotating arm. The machine uses a rotating X-Ray source, which emits a cone-shaped beam of radiation through the head, or alternative area of interest, onto an X-ray detector (a CMOS Flat panel sensor with a 13 x 13 cm active area) on the opposite side. The X-ray source and detector rotate around a support located directly above the patient, positioned so the head is at the center of the system. The system takes a series of projection images over the course of a few seconds, taking the images in either a complete or partial arc, depending on the focus.
