Start
Position the patient so that the region the vascular filling of which should be im-
aged first is located in the central ray.
If a left / right dominant or both dominants are selected, the system switches
over automatically to the central circular dominant if the preselected dominant is
covered by the filters, since this would inevitably result in a faulty exposure.
