5.5. ACQUISITION OF THE EXAM
- Visually check that the patient is correctly positioned and that the central green LED on the X-ray remote control
is on fixed.
- Optionally, press the CONFIRM button to go to the Minimum Wait Status position.
- Ask the patient not to move during the examination and to breathe slowly and regularly. For panoramic (PAN)
projections, ask the patient to swallow just before taking the X-ray so that the tongue is up against palate.
- Have anyone not necessary move away from the area exposed to radiation and where required stand behind the
special protection.
-
Press the X-ray button on the remote control and
hold it down for the entire duration of the
examination. The examination time is determined by
the intermittent yellow LED on the X-ray remote
control device. X-ray emission is signalled with an
acoustic signal.
The X-ray device emits rays to acquire the images only if it is ready, i.e. when the green LED on the control
console and on the remote control is on. It may occur that as a result of a user or X-ray device error, the
device does not indicate that it is ready and X-rays can hence not be emitted. Correct the error (see the
chapter Error Messages) and press the CONFIRM button.
