Abstract: Expanding access to diagnostic imaging within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) is a key strategy to improve the quality of oral health care. This study aimed to describe and analyze the implementation of an extraoral panoramic radiography service in a high-demand diagnostic center. This is a descriptive study designed as an experience report with a qualitative approach, based on the analysis of institutional documents, operational records, and participant observation of routine practices between 2023 and 2026. The implementation process involved structural adaptations, integration of digital systems, and standardization of technical and radioprotection protocols. Improvements were observed in workflow organization, service productivity, reduction of repeat examinations, and enhancement of radiological safety practices. Major challenges included system instability, heterogeneity of patient profiles, and gaps in staff training. These issues were addressed through workflow reorganization, infrastructure improvements, and continuing education initiatives. In conclusion, the consolidation of the service depends on the integration of technological innovation, work process organization, and continuous professional taining, representing a model with potential for replication in other SUS settings.
