Panorama Exposures
7. Use the Backward and Forward keys to line the Image layer
beam up with the distal side of the patient’s upper, left canine.
The laser beam could cause eye damage. Do not look
directly into it or let it strike you or the patient in the eye.
* Depending on the shape of the patient’s face, the Image layer
beam may not directly strike the distal side of the upper left
canine.
In this case, position the beam so that an imaginary extension
of it is lined up properly.
The beam’s movement range is normally from +20 mm to
-20 mm, but it is less for some types of exposures.
8. Make sure the Frankfort plane, Mid-sagittal and Image layer
beams are lined up properly.
Warn the patient not to move during the X-ray exposure
(while the melody is playing). If the patient moves, he
could be hit by the arm or the exposure could be a
failure.
