11.2.9.1 Primary collimator beam alignment check
In order to make an exposition without rotating the arm it is necessary to use the
software "PhD_C_Test" you can find in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Acteon
Imaging\Panoramic X-Mind Prime Ceph. This function is useful to verify and adjust
the x-ray beam alignment on the digital sensor and also to measure exposure
parameters (see paragraph.7.13). This function is required in case of tubehead or
digital sensor replacement.
Note
Before acquiring and image remove any object from the x-ray beam field
including the chin support and the panoramic temple clamps.
