6.5.3 Preparation of the patient
1. Ask the patient to remove all metallic objects located in the area to be
X-rayed (necklaces, earrings, glasses, hairpins, removable dental
prosthesis, etc.). Ensure that there are no thick garments in the area
to be X-rayed (coats, jackets, ties, etc.).
2. Ask the patient to put on the protective apron, or something similar,
making sure that it does not interfere with the trajectory of the X-ray
beams.
3. Place the patient in a standing position at the chin support.
With the keys "Column movement" (15/16) lift/lower the
column until the chin support is aligned with the patient's chin.
4. Position the patient with the temple clasps (Figure 9) ensuring that
the chin rests on the special support; the hands should rest on the
front handles. Ask the patient to bite the reference notch of the bite
with his incisors (Figure 9). In case of edentulous patients, he/she
must rest the chin against the reference shoulder of the edentulous
chin support.
5. Instruct the patient to close his eyes.
6. Press the key "Centring devices ON" (14) .
Two laser beams will light up the sagittal medial plane line and the
horizontal line for the Frankfurt plane reference (the plane that
identifies a line that ideally links the ear hole - the auditory meatus -
with the lower part of the orbital fossa in Figure 10). Position the
patient's head in such a way as to ensure that the luminous beams
fall in correspondence with the respective anatomical references.
The luminous beam of the Frankfurt plane can be adjusted according
to the patient's height; this can be adjusted by means of the laser
knob on the side of the mirror.
NOTE:
The laser centring device will stay lit up until the "Centring devices ON"
(14) key or, at the end of the alignment, the key "Patient
Entrance" (6) is pressed to start the exposure preparation phase.
