User's Manual (2D)
In automatic programs you will get three (or four)
exposures in one image depending on the program you
use.
Ask the patient to close their lips on the bite piece,
swallow, and remain as still as possible. Tell the patient
that the C-arm will rotate backwards and forwards three
(or four) times so that they do not move before the end of
the exposures.
Move to a protected area.
Press and hold down the exposure button for the duration
of the exposures. The C-arm will rotate backwards and
forwards three (or four) times. The radiation warning lights
on the exposure switch and on the control panel will come
on and you will hear a radiation warning tone.
When the C-arm has completed the last exposure cycle
the temple supports will automatically open. You can now
guide the patient from the unit.
NOTE Maintain audio and visual contact with the patient and
unit during exposure. If the C-arm stops moving
during exposure, or moves in an erratic way, release
the exposure button immediately.
When you have taken the exposures the image will be
shown on the computer screen. Note that you must
accept the image in the Planmeca Romexis program -
only accepted images will be stored in the database.
Refer to the Romexis User's Manual.
