actual 3D image. This allows you to check the volume
position or, if necessary, confirm the need for a 3D
exposure.
NOTE If the image consists of several volumes, scout
imaging is available for the first image volume (1/2)
only.
NOTE 2D views are not available for all programs.
NOTE Make sure that you have selected the correct patient
and exposure mode in the Planmeca Romexis
program.
1. Select the view you wish to take. To take LAT-PA
views, select both buttons (LAT and PA). The selected
option is shown on the top of the forward button.
