Positioning the Patient

Follow the procedure outlined below to properly position the patient for CT
scanning.
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
can cause shadow images which could obstruct diagnosis.
■ It is strongly recommended that the patient wear a lead apron to protect
against scatter radiation.
■ Adjust the equipment to the patient's height by using the Vertical Frame up/
down button or switch.
Correct positioning is an important factor in capturing the
best possible image. Proper positioning will reduce the
