PANORAMIC EXPOSURE
Panoramic program Standard + TMJ
If you are taking a combined exposure, the TMJ imaging
position and angle must be checked when the patient is
positioned in the X-ray unit:
Touch the Jaw field on the main display, or alternatively,
tap the jaw icon on the right side of the display. The Select
jaw size, adjust position and angle display will appear.
Imaging position: Use a ruler to measure the distance
between the layer light and the patient's temporo-
mandibular joint to determine the exact imaging position.
Adjust the imaging position with the left / right arrows
according to your measurement.
Imaging angle: Take a submento-vertex exposure (axial
projection) to determine the exact imaging angle. Adjust
the imaging angle with the left / right arrows according to
your measurement.
Layer light
Imaging position: Ruler measurement
Imaging angle: Submento-vertex exposure
NOTE The ruler measurement depends on the position of the
layer light. On retakes always use a ruler to measure
the position. Do not rely on numeric position values.
