9.4 Taking a 3D face photo
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. Tell the patient that a bright
light will come on during the exposure but the patient should not be
startled and move. Ask the patient to either keep their eyes shut or to
focus them on a fixed point in the distance so that the eyes will point in
their natural direction in the resulting image.
3. Press and hold down the exposure button for the entire duration of the
exposure. You hear a fast ticking sound when the photo is taken.
