Acquiring a 3D Single-Volume Image for Adult and
Pediatric Patients
Before acquiring a 3D single-volume image, check that you have:
•
Reset the unit rotative arm to the start position for patient to enter the unit.
•
Selected the patient record.
•
Accessed the 3D Imaging window.
•
Accessed the 3D Acquisition window.
Preparing the Unit and Setting the Acquisition Parameters
To set the acquisition parameters, follow these steps:
1. Click the Patient button to access the Patient pane .
Select the patient:
•
Type
•
Dental arch morphology (optional)
•
Incisors orientation (optional)
2. In the 3D Acquisition window, click the Program button to access the Program
pane . Select the region of interest and click to validate the selection, or click
to cancel the modifications.
3. Click the Parameter button to access the Parameter pane .
•
kV and mA: If the default parameter settings for kV and mA are not adapted to
your patient type, select the appropriate kV and mA parameters. To save the new
parameter settings as the default parameter settings, click and select
Memorize settings .
•
µm (voxel): If the default parameter setting is not adapted to the desired image
resolution, select the appropriate µm parameter. The higher you select the image
resolution the greater will be the image data size.
•
For the highest resolution and detailed information, for example for
endodontics, select 76 µm.
•
For the lowest resolution and less detailed information, for example for
implantology, select 100 or 200 µm.
•
The selected parameter will be saved automatically as default value.
4. Position the 3D bite block support and 3D standard bite block and cover the bite
block with a hygienic sheath.
