Operating Instructions Orthophos SL 2D / 3D

Volume exposures
5.1.2.4.1
Program description
If the panoramic X-ray unit is equipped with a 3D function unit, volume
exposures can be prepared using cone-beam technology. This enables
the diagnosis of section images at the axial, sagittal, and coronal level.
The Low Dose mode in programs VOL1, VOL2 und VOL3 is not available
in every country.
5.1.2.4.1.1
VOL1 HD / VOL1 SD / VOL1 Low
The Easypad can be used to select one of the five volume regions:
● Anterior tooth region
● Right/left molar region
● Right/left temporomandibular joint area
The volume range on the object / field of view (FoV) corresponds to a
cylinder with a diameter of approx. 8 cm and a height of approx. 8 cm. For
dose reduction, the volume for upper/lower jaw exposures can be
collimated to approx. 5.5cm.
SD mode (standard definition mode):
Standard mode for producing a volume exposure
HD mode (High Definition mode):
Four times more single projections are generated in HD mode than in SD
mode that can be used for finer reconstructed image quality. This can
reduce typical DVT/conebeam artifacts.
Please be aware of the maximum patient dose.
Low Dose mode:
The effective dose for the patient is reduced significantly in Low Dose
mode.
