So, I got a panoramic x-ray today to see if I need to get my wisdom teeth removed. I saw the person tapping various things on the screen of the machine to get everything set up and I noticed there were two buttons at the bottom for male and female and she selected one. I’m curious what someone’s sex has to do with getting an x-ray. If someone’s sex for whatever reason does affect the way the machine takes x-rays, why didn’t she ask what my sex was considering there are many people who simply don’t look like their biological sex?

Jaw size maybe? There are definitely differences in the size and shape of the male and female jaw.
