Abstract

The invention relates to a system for determining a sensor holder for holding an object, whereby the sensor holder carries a digital sensor of a dental X-ray unit. The inventive system comprises an input and display unit for interactively controlling the same, whereby a schema image can be displayed on the display unit. The system also comprises a processing unit that, based on the selected sensor holder, simulatively generates the schema image from which is apparent which area of the object is displayed when using the selected sensor holder.
