Positioning the Patient
Follow the procedure below to prepare and position the patient for CEPH imaging.
Before Positioning the Patient
■ Ask the patient to remove all jewelry and metallic objects, such as earrings,
hair pins, spectacles, dentures, and orthodontic appliances. These items
may cause shadow images which could obscure diagnosis.
■
It is strongly recommended that the patient wear a lead apron for protection
against any possible scatter radiation.
■
Adjust the column height to the patient’s height using the up/down button or
switch (optional).

NOTE
Correct positioning is an important factor in capturing the
best possible image.
CAUTION
Ensure that the nasal positioner left unfolded, before
adjusting the ear rods in the proper direction.
WARNING
Ensure that the patient is clear of all moving parts while
adjusting the height of the equipment.
NOTE
Although the illustrations and explanations on patient’s
posture and device usage are based on the OS / OP models
(one shot-type sensor), those for the SC (scan type) model
should be the same.
