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 that could impede 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).
