4) Check the symmetry of the patient’s head using the
sagittal vertical trace as a guide; check the correct
positioning of the Frankfurt plane by overlapping the
upper horizontal light trace, as shown in the previous
figure.
5) Once the correct orientation has been found, lock the
craniostat as explained in paragraph 5.4.2.
6) Make sure that the examination required is selected
correctly.
Use the keys
to position the vertical
focusing light trace between the first and the second
upper premolar.
7) Press the CONFIRMATION button and, immediately before leaving the room to press the X-ray emission button,
ask the patient to close his/her eyes and remain still.
5.5. ACQUISITION OF THE EXAM
- Visually check that the patient is correctly positioned and that the central green LED on the X-ray remote control
is steady on.
- Ask the patient not to move during the examination and to breathe slowly and regularly. For panoramic (PAN)
projections, ask the patient to swallow just before X-ray radiation exposure (so that the tongue is up against
palate).
- Have anyone not necessary move away from the area exposed to radiation and, where required, stand behind
the special protection.
-
Press the X-ray button on the remote control and
hold it down for the entire duration of the
examination. The examination time is determined by
the intermittent yellow LED on the X-ray remote
control device. X-ray emission is signalled by an
acoustic signal.
The X-ray device emits rays to acquire the images only if its status is Ready, i.e. when the green LED on the
control console and on the remote control is on. It may occur that, as a result of the user or of the X-ray
device error, the device does not indicate that it is ready and X-rays can hence not be emitted. Correct the
error (see the chapter Error Messages) and press the CONFIRM button.
