Italian term or phrase: zona di incidenza
Source text:
"L'esame Dentizione ad ortogonalità migliorata esegue una radiografia della sola arcata dentale, escludendo dall'immagine i rami ascendenti dell'articolazione temporo mandibolare; la traiettoria percorsa dal braccio rotante è però ottimizzata per una maggiore ortogonalità tra il fascio RX e le **zone di incidenza** tra denti contigui.
In questo modo l'immagine ottenuta presenta una minore sovrapposizione tra i denti, migliorando la possibilità di diagnosi di carie intraprossimali."

I'm actually translating a document from English into Hungarian, but apparently the English version is a translation itself from Italian. As far as I can tell, the text has been translated into English by an Italian native speaker. To make things worse, the Italian version I have is an earlier version of the document.

I suspect the English version of this phrase in the paragraph below is not correct. Can someone tell me the right expression? Another problem is that I'm not really an expert in dentistry.

Existing English version:
"The improved orthogonality Panoramic delivers the image of the pure
dental arch cutting out from the image the ascending rami branches
of the temporo mandibular joint; the trajectory of the rotating arms
is, however, optimized for a better orthogonality between the X-ray
beam and the **incident sections** of near teeth.
Thus the image has reduced overlapping of the teeth, improving the
diagnosis of interproximal decay."
