Starting the Measure Scan
Caution the patient to remain still.
Remember, press the Emergency Stop button directly below the Scanner Arm Touch Pad to
immediately terminate the x-ray exposure or stop the scanner arm movement. Refer to "Pressing the
Emergency Stop Button" on page 11-37 for instructions on safely resuming the scan.
1. Click .
2. If the Auto Centering parameter box is checked (ON = enabled), the scanner arm will take a “U” shaped scan
before it does the Measure scan.
Note: If the “U” shaped scan is not successful, the following alert box will be displayed. In this case,
Norland recommends that the scan be terminated and the scan region be re-marked. (Note that mark-
ing too high or too low on the spine caused the Auto Centering to fail.) Proceed to"Auto Centering
Mode" on page 11-65 for further instructions.
3. The Scan tab window displays the image as it develops, shows how many lines will be scanned and gives
an estimate of the total time remaining in the Measure scan.
