5.2. SELECTING THE EXAMINATION FROM THE CONTROL CONSOLE
5.2.1. 2D EXAMINATIONS AVAILABLE
Panoramic examinations (PAN)
:
The panoramic standard examinations have the traditional path and angles of the X-ray beam. If the patient is a child,
or very small adult, we recommend to use the child setting for the exposure where the width of the exposed area and
the dose irradiated are reduced. The panoramic pediatric PAN CHILD projection is a subset of the panoramic
standard projection, with a reduced field projection to limit the patient exposure to radiation. To identify a PAN CHILD
projection, select CHILD as the Patient type.
If the patient is a child of less than approximately 104 cm in height and less than 19 Kg in weight that are the
height and weight measurements approximately correspondent to an average 4 year old child, he shall not
be exposed to NewTom GO.
In order to ensure a safe use of the device, specifically in the radiography of children, it is suggested to
consult the general indications described in the guidelines for dental radiographies as i.e. the ones referred
on the website Image Gently (
), for dental Rx, or even in the FDA website for
“Pediatric X-Ray imaging”.
