4 PATIENT POSITIONING LIGHTS
4.1 Checking the lights
The positions of the light beams from the three patient positioning lights should be checked.
Place the Frankfort plane alignment tool into position on top of the ball phantom.
Figure 27
Press either of the patient positioning keys to switch the positioning lights on and then a second
time to drive the patient positioning mechanism to 00 if it is not already there.
The Frankfort plane light beam should be located between the two black lines on the alignment
tool. It should be horizontal.
Figure 28
The plane-in-focus light beam should be positioned so that it is on the black reference line on the
side of the ball phantom.
