Which of the following best describes the correct vertical direction of the central ray when using the bisecting technique?
a. 90 degrees to the long axes of the teeth
b. 90 degrees to the plane of the image receptor
c. 90 degrees to the long axes of the teeth and the plane of the image receptor
d. 90 degrees to the imaginary bisector
d. To cast an accurate shadow representation of a tooth onto the image receptor, the angle formed by the long axis of the tooth and the plane of the image receptor must be bisected. The central ray of the x-ray beam is directed perpendicular to this imaginary bisector.
