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.
● 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.
● Ensure that the nasal positioner left unfolded, before adjusting the ear rods in
the proper direction.
Correct positioning is an important factor in capturing the best possible image.
Although the illustrations and explanations on patient’s posture and device
usage are based on the OS / OP models (one shot-type sensor), those for the
SC (scan type) model should be the same.
