6. Acquiring PANO Images
6.3.2 TMJ Open Mode
There are two TMJ sub-modes:
TMJ Open
and
TMJ Close
. Scan a TMJ Open
image first and then scan a TMJ Close image. To prepare and position the
patient, follow the process outlined below.
NOTE
- Correct positioning is an important factor for image
capturing. Proper positioning will reduce the appearance
of the cervical spine in the reconstructed image.
-
- For a child with a large head circumference, Man/Woman
mode may be selected instead of Child.
Positioning the patient
A. Insert the TMJ chin support.
Disinfect the chin support using an
alcohol-based cleaning solution and
wipe away all residues with a dry
cloth before proceeding any further.
B. Loosen the temple Supports by turning
the temple support wheel.
C. Guide the patient —facing the chin
support — to the equipment.
D. Adjust the height of the equipment using the column up/down button or
switch (optional) until the patient’s chin is resting on the chin support. Ensure
that the chin is in contact with the chin support.
