8. You see two camera images of the patient’s head on the control panel: a
front view and a side view. The preset position of the panoramic image
layer is shown with a blue area in both views.
Carefully position the patient’s Frankfort plane so that it is parallel to the
Frankfort plane reference line:
•
Use the height adjusting slider on the touch screen to adjust the tilt of
the patient’s head. The patient’s back and neck must be straight.
9. Position the apices of the patient’s upper central incisors within the
image layer of the X-ray unit:
•
A virtual layer light is shown with a green line on the screen. Use
your mouse cursor (virtual control panel) or finger (touch screen) to
move the blue area forwards or backwards so that the green line is
positioned between the patient’s second incisor and the canine.
The selected position is shown in the bottom right corner (e.g. 0
mm).
10. Check that the midsagittal plane light and the Frankfort plane reference
line are still correctly positioned. Reposition them if necessary.
