Getting prepared
1. Ask the patient to remove all the metal objects (glasses, earrings, hair pins, braces,
false teeth). Metal objects may induce ghost images and lower the image quality.
2. Ask the patient to wear a lead apron to protect them from residual radiation.
3. Use the Vertical Frame Up/Down button or switch option to adjust the
equipment to match the height of the patient.
