hyperion - OPERATING INSTRUCTION
3 DESCRIPTION OF THE APPARATUS
hyperion consists of a rotating arm attached to a support column. The powered rotating arm is capable of rotating and
translating thereby allowing the x-ray emission system and image detector to be moved around the patient according to
complex orbits that follow the morphological prole. The rotating arm is attached to a support column capable of moving
vertically through a motorized movement. The images show hyperion in rest position.
In the hyperion MRT model the CCD sensor is xed and it is available in only one conguration.

hyperion, on the other hand, can be equipped with a remote X-ray arm coupled to the column support. The arm has a
cephalostat, to maintain the patient in position during the examination, and imaging detector that moves in sync with
the movement of the X-ray source.
A user’s choice, the hyperion units can be equipped with a single imaging detector (the operator must place it on the
rotating arm for panoramic examinations or on teleradiographyc arm for exams CEPH) or by two separate detectors
images (which remain xed, on a rotating arm and the other on the arm to teleradiography).
