Bisecting angle technique (optional)
The patient holds the sensor (1) in place with his finger. The X-ray beam
is directed perpendicularly towards an imaginary line (2) which bisects the
angle between the film plane and the long axis (3) of the tooth.
NOTE
Be very careful not to put excessive pressure on the sensor. Do not place a
clamp on the sensor. Do not take occlusal exposures with the sensor, and
advise the user not to bite the sensor.
NOTE
Never clamp the sensor package or cable with a hemostat or an unmodified
“Snap-a-ray” holder.
Make sure the digital sensor system is ready for the exposure and
communicates with Romexis (refer to section "Control box indicator light"
on page 5.
On how to place the sensor into the patient’s mouth refer to the sensor
holder manual supplied with the digital sensor.
