13.2.2 Automatic exposure
In the automatic exposure program you will get three
exposures in one image.
Ask the patient to close their lips on the bite piece,
swallow, and remain as still as possible. Tell the patient
that the C-arm will rotate three times so that they do not
move before the end of the exposure cycle.
Move to a protected area.
Press and hold down the exposure button for the duration
of the exposure. The C-arm will rotate backward and
forward three times. During the exposure cycle the
radiation warning light on the exposure switch and on the
display will come on and you will hear a radiation warning
tone.
NOTE
Maintain audio and visual contact with the patient and unit
during exposure. If the C-arm stops moving during
exposure, or moves in an erratic way, release the
exposure button immediately.
At the end of the exposure cycle the temple supports will
automatically open. You can now guide the patient from
the unit.
NOTE
If exposures are taken in rapid succession the X-ray tube
will overheat and a cooling time will be shown on the
display (e.g. Cooling: 21 s). The cooling time indicates the
delay before the next exposure can be taken.
The image will be shown on the computer screen. Note
that you must accept the image in the Romexis program -
only accepted images will be stored in the database.
