5.1.2.5.1.3 C3 – Lateral exposure
With this exposure technique, a metal scale integrated in the nose
support is displayed on the X-ray exposure. Using this scale, the
magnification factor in the median plane can be determined precisely
via a measurement.
C3 - Lateral exposure, asymmetric
This program displays a full-format lateral view (approx. 18x23cm). This
program omits the front of the patient's head.
C3F - Lateral full-format exposure
This program displays a full-format lateral view (approx. 30x23cm). This
program displays the whole of the patient's head.
The C3F - Lateral full-format exposure can be fixed set by the service
engineer upon request.
Tip: By default, the image of the lateral exposure C3 or C3F shows the
patient's face facing to the right. At your request, this orientation can be
permanently changed by your service engineer so that the patient's face
points to the left on the X-ray.
Please also note that all other ceph exposures C1, C2 and C4 will then
also be displayed "mirrored", i.e. laterally reversed.
