Aligning the patient
Using the "up" and "down" keys on the control panel, move the X-ray unit
until the centers of the ear plugs are located at the same height as the
patient's outer auditory canals.
The motor movement is accompanied by an acoustic signal.
Open the headband (C) of the head fixation device until the ear plugs
contact the patient's outer auditory canals.
Close the swivel arm (H) until it snaps in place.
The patient should grasp the handles (I) relaxed but securely.
NOTE:
For an optimal exposure, the patient should stand up straight and let his
shoulders droop loosely.
Align the occlusal plane (S) of the patient's head parallel to the marking
line (R) via fine adjustment of the "up" and "down" keys.
NOTE:
The height of the X-ray unit must be set so that the occlusal plane is perfectly
horizontal following alignment.
T
The correct position for the indication can be set by laterally fixing the
position with the volume control and using the vertical and horizontal
adjustment options.
The inner side (T) of the volume control should be regarded as the volume
boundary.
Example 1: The patient's nose and the point of his chin are within the volume,
e.g. for optimal display of the silhouette of a Ceph exposure.
