8.4.2 Positioning patient’s head
1. Guide the patient to the X-ray unit. The patient can sit or stand during the
exposure.
NOTE
We recommend that you image patients with poor health in a sitting
position.
2. Adjust the X-ray unit to suit the height of the patient. To do this, press
either of the height adjusting buttons until the chin cup is approximately
level with the patient’s lower jaw.
3. Ask the patient to grasp the patient handles.
4. Check that the patient’s head is firmly positioned in the head support.
•
You can adjust the head support by turning the adjusting knob at the
top.
•
You can use fastening straps for additional head support if needed.
Refer to section "Attaching patient supports" on page 27 for details.
