5.2 PATIENT POSITIONING
• Patient’s feet should be moved forward and brought together, so that the patient’s body is straight and slanted, he/she
should slightly hang from the handgrip (compatible with his/her physical possibility to maintain this uncomfortable position
during the examination). The purpose of this position is to stretch the spine as much as possible, in order to decrease the
artefact shadow that would be cast into the image.
• The picture below shows the proper placement of the feet or the wheelchair respect to the base for devices installed with
the accessory “Self-standing base”.
In any case, the patient may also stand in natural and more comfortable position if he/she cannot hold the above described
position (e.g. elderly people). Patients in wheelchairs can also be positioned.
• Ask the patient to remove glasses, necklaces, earrings, piercing, etc. before positioning him/her and carry out the scan
• Ask the patient to bite the bite block (or place chin on the chin rest for edentulous patients).
• Turn on positioning LASERs.
