Patient Positioning
● Have patients, especially pregnant women and children, wear a lead apron
to protect them from residual radiation.
● Be careful not to direct the laser beam into the patient's eyes. Doing so can
result in a permanent loss of vision.
● Correct posture reduces the shadow cast by the patient's cervical spine and
allows for clear image acquisition.
● Metal implants or bridges may reduce the quality of the images.
● If the laser beam is not correctly positioned, distortion, where the image may
be enlarged or reduced, or ghost shadows may occur and lower the image
quality so please be careful.
In general, images are acquired when the patient is standing. In special cases,
a chair without a backrest (stool) may be used. Do not obstruct the laser beam
or the operation of the equipment with the chair.
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.
