6.4. POSITIONING THE PATIENT FOR 3D EXAMINATIONS
Make the patient access the machine and set any cranium positioning only after the machine has stopped moving
and the console is in the patient positioning page.
If you want to stop the machine movement, press the CONFIRMATION button again.
Here you find instructions on
how to position the patient
using the positioning devices
provided for.
It is indicated how to position
the patient with the help of
laser traces.
The column position and the
Vertical
focusing
laser
position are also indicated.
Lasers can be turned on and
off using the switch.
1) Once the preparation of the X-ray device is complete, make the patient access the machine.
2) Adjust the motorised column height using keys
to facilitate the patient’s access. Bring the column at
the patient’s height.
3) The patient must grab the handles with both hands and keep a standing position.
4) If necessary, refine the height of the chin rest using
the keys in the control panel lower area
and centre the acquisition area characterised by the
lower horizontal laser trace, which determines the
lower limit of the radiated area.
5)
Adjust the patient’s head position using, as a guide,
the vertical laser trace which identifies the sagittal
plane.
6) Once the correct orientation has been found, lock the
craniostat as explained in paragraph 5.4.2:
A-
Push the front support forward until it rests on the
patient’s forehead. The forehead’s pressure on the
support will automatically stabilise it.
B-
Close the arms until they touch the patient’s
cranium.
C-
Rotate the top levers downward until they are
laterally locked.
