Positioning the Patient
032-0329-EN Rev K
Gate
The gate swings open to allow patient seating. The patient should be seated facing forward
with hands in lap.
NOTE:
Closing the gate creates a pinch point. Keep hands and other body parts clear when
closing gate.
Close gate prior to scanning, making sure the magnet is secured in its locked position. If gate
will not close:
•
Move head support to the rearmost position. With chair in the upper slot, have
patient slide forward in seat and then lean back into scanner.
•
Use head strap without the chin cup.
•
Keep gate open and remove entire chin support.
Chin Support
The chin support is comprised of several
components to help facilitate correct
positioning of the patient for CT scans.
For most studies, the chin cup should be
aligned with the bottom of the sensor
panel.
To Adjust the Chin Cup:
1. Insert the slide in the slide block.
2. Insert the chin cup.
3. Raise or lower the chin cup to
desired height, then tighten
adjusting knob to secure in
place.
