6.9.2 Preparation of the patient
1. Turn the ear centring device to the Antero-Posterior position; bring
the nose-rest to a parking position.
2. Hook up the plastic positioning support for hand projection.
3. Place the patient slightly to the side of the cephalometry device.
4. Position the patient's hand on the positioning support (Figure 16).
The support leads the operator to place the body part in the centre of
the irradiated area. The horizontal line should help the vertical
adjustment of the hand.
The common radiological procedure to assess bone growth in
children, suggests placing the end of the middle finger tangent to the
reference line.
The patient's hand and arm must form a vertical line.
