Preparing and Positioning the Adult and Pediatric Patient
To prepare and position the patient, follow these steps:
1. Ask the patient to remove all metal objects.
2. Ask the patient to wear a lead apron. Ensure that the apron lays flat across the patient's shoulders.
3. Pull out at the top part of a head clamp bar to extend both bars.
4. Ask the patient to do the following:
• Move forward.
• Stand up straight.
• Place both ears in between the head clamps.
5. On the positioning panel, press and hold until you get the ear cones to the same height of ear
auditory canals.
Important: The head clamp will NOT extend if you pull out at the lower
part of the bar.
