• Non-exposed area in the lower-central part of the image
If the problem appears as shown in point "5" of Figure 28 above, it
indicates that there has been interference between the leaded apron
worn by the patient and the X-ray beam.
Solution:
Properly position the leaded apron (tight around the patient's
shoulders and neck) then carry out a new examination.
• The teeth rows are overexposed
As already described, if the tongue is not positioned against the
palate during the exposure, it will create an air chamber between the
tongue and the palate; this air gap creates a less absorbing area that
overlaps the teeth, often in the apex area. This area is identified as
reference "1" in Figure 28.
Solution:
Ask the patient to position his tongue against the palate during the
exposure.
