Preparing and Positioning the Adult and Pediatric Patient
To prepare and position the patient, follow these steps:

2. Ask the patient to wear a lead apron. Ensure that the apron lays flat
across the patient’s shoulders.
3. Turn the adjustment knob to open the temple supports laterally.
4. Ask the patient to enter the unit. On the Positioning panel , press and hold to raise the chin
rest to the height of the patient.
5. Ask the patient to:
•
Stand up straight ( do not position the
feet slightly forward ).
•
Grip both the lower handles of the
head and chin rest.
•
Relax and lower the shoulders for full
motion of the unit rotative arm.
Note: You can adjust the temple supports manually to the back or front for
a better head fit.
Note: If the patient is too tall, tell the patient to sit on a stool.
