6.2 PATIENT POSITIONING
X-MIND trium is a class 3R laser product. Avoid direct eye exposure to laser radiation. Viewing the laser
output with telescopic optical instruments (for example, telescopes and binoculars) may pose an eye
hazard and thus the user should not direct the beam into an area where such instruments are likely to be
used
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specied herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure
• The mid-sagittal plane laser (A) is located on the U-arm and identies the sagittal plane. It is used to position the patient
symmetrically with respect to the rotation axis of the scanning apparatus.
• The Axial plane laser (B) is located on the X-ray tube and identies the bottom limit of the X-ray beam, that is the bottom
limit of the acquired volume.
• The coronal plane laser (C) identies the coronal plane and is also located on the X-ray tube.
The intersection between the mid-sagittal plane laser and the coronal plane laser represents the Axis of Rotation (AOR) of the
scanning apparatus, that is the central axis of the acquired volume.
Once the patient is positioned correctly with respect to the lasers, adjust the chin rest support by means of the control panel
commands in order to reach the correct position.
