7.9.3 Image combination
You can automatically or manually combine the stitch-
ing images exposed using the Reina buckies. The fol-
lowing procedure describes an example of combining
3 images.
IMPORTANT
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
• If SID is 1.7m or less, it may be necessary to adjust
the combination positions manually.
• Adjust the combination position by using the markers
as supplementary standards in addition to body parts
of the subject.
It is also recommended that you arrange the measure
in the combined image part during exposure to sim-
plify the conrmation of the combined parts.
• In stitching exposure, when plates overlap and are ar-
ranged so that there is no image loss in each plate's
boundaries, there might be a slight gap in the marker
position because of a minute dierence in magnica-
tion. After taking this into account, conrm the combi-
nation position through the marker.
