@Armavica Yes haha you thought it right, the spine gets in the way when imaging the front teeth. The spine appears in the radiograph if you look closely at the area over the front teeth and chin. Because of this, this region loses detail and appears darker, making the panoramic radiograph not the preferred exam for examining the front teeth.
In fact, the panoramic radiograph is good for having an overview of what's happening, but if you want detail, periapical x-rays are preferred, because the film/sensor is much closer to the teeth, which means more detail and less overlapping
