5.1 Acquiring the X-ray image
Operating Instructions Orthophos SL 2D / 3D
● Collimation to the smallest possible area / FoV for 3D exposures:
2D X-ray panorama layer imaging:
– By showing the X-ray area on a quadrant, up to 30% of the dose
can be saved with panorama layer imaging.
– By showing the area on a quadrant in combination with the
Quickshot adjustment parameter, up to 60% of the dose can be
saved.
2D X-ray Ceph exposure:
– With teleradiography, the exposure area can be shown with the
programs C3 and C3 F, as well as C1 p.a and C2 a.p. This
reduces the patient dose.
– In addition to this overlaying, the Quickshot adjustment
parameter can also be selected in Ceph mode. This further
reduces the patient dose.
3D X-rays:
– In the VOL1 volume exposure, the height of the FoV at all centers
of rotation can be collimated to 5.5 cm.
– By selecting the VOL2 volume, the volume can also be reduced
in diameter to 5 cm. This reduces the effective dose by approx.
30%.
– By selecting the Low Dose exposure mode, the effective dose
can be reduced significantly as compared with the SD exposure
mode.
Optimized X-ray applications
Overview of the options for simplifying X-ray applications for children/
adolescents with the Orthophos SL:
● Children and adolescents can often be positioned in a stiller and more
stable position if they are seated. The Orthophos SL can therefore be
brought down for an exposure in the seat to a bite block height of 80
cm.
● To explain the exposure and to alleviate any fears, a radiation-free
test cycle can be started at any time.
● The Orthophos SL has been designed so that it functions openly and
does not scare or induce fear in children and adolescents.
● There are no distressing cycle noises.
● Optimum and stable positioning options and adjustment tools prevent
faulty exposures.
● The Orthophos SL does not require any target exposures to check
the correct patient positioning. This means no unnecessary extra
dosing.
