5.5. ACQUISITION OF THE EXAM
- Visually check the correct position of the patient and make sure that the green LED is steadily on and in the X-ray
remote control.
- Tell the patient not to move during the examination, to breath slowly and regularly; for panoramic X-ray
projections (PAN), in the moment immediately prior to the radiation, ask the patient to swallow and to make
his/her tongue adhere to the palate).
- Make all the unnecessary persons move away from the area exposed to radiation and, when required, go behind
the suitable protection.
When the patient accesses the machine during the “Patient Positioning” or the “Execution of Examination”
(and anyway before starting the examination), make sure that the X-ray device is not accidentally hit: in this
case, it is recommended to make the patient exit the machine and reposition the X-ray device, returning to
the “Examination Settings” screen and repeating the procedure.
The console EXECUTION of examination screen shows
the X-ray parameters set and the exposure progression.
The user can see the amount of dose being
administered and how much time is left before the
examination ends
-
Press the X-Ray remote Control to perform the
emission and keep it pressed during the whole
duration of the examination. The duration of the
examination is indicated by the yellow flashing
LED of the X-ray remote control device. The X-ray
emission is signalled with an audible signal.
The X-ray device emits rays to acquire images only if it is Ready, namely when the green LED is on, on the
control console and on the X-ray emission remote control. It is possible that, due to an error of the user or of
the X-ray device, the machine does not confirm the Ready status, thus preventing the X-ray emission.
Correct the error (see section Error messages) and press the CONFIRMATION button.
