10.4 Taking an exposure in double TMJ programs
NOTE
Make sure that you have selected the correct patient and
exposure mode in the Planmeca Romexis program.
10.4.1 First exposure - jaw closed (1/2)
1. Select the forward button.
Green lights flash on the touch screen and exposure
button when the X-ray system is getting ready for an
exposure. The green lights stop flashing and stay on
continuously when the X-ray system is ready for an
exposure.
2. Ask the patient to stay as still as possible. Explain to
the patient that this is a double exposure and that the
C-arm will move twice around the patient’s head.
3. Move to a protected area.
4. Press and hold down the exposure button for the
duration of the first exposure.
The C-arm moves around the patient’s head. During
exposure yellow radiation warning lights illuminate on
the exposure switch and on the touch screen, and
you hear a radiation warning tone. Additionally, a
radiation warning symbol is shown on the touch
screen.
NOTE
Maintain audio and visual contact with the patient and X-
ray unit during exposure. If the C-arm stops moving during
exposure, or moves in an erratic way, release the
exposure button immediately.
NOTE
If needed, you can stop the imaging process by touching
the red cross button after you have taken the first
exposure.
