6.8.3 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. Open the ear centring device (Figure 15) to its maximum span by
using the upper part of the rods of the centring device itself. Move the
nose rest (Figure 15) away outwardly to its maximum extension.
Manually rotate the craniostat group according to the cephalometric
projection to be made, moving the upper part of the ear centring
device (Figure 15).
4. Position the patient upright near the auricular centring device.
With the keys "Column movement" (15/16) lift/lower, the
column till the centring pins (Figure 15) are close to the ear to clasp
the patient's head so that the pivots penetrate the ear (Figure 15)
moving the upper part of the rods.
If a Latero-Lateral examination is performed, position the nose rest.
5. By selecting an "asymmetric" projection, the Soft Tissues Filter (STF)
will be automatically inserted.
