7. IMAGING PROGRAMS The EAGLE Panoramic X-Ray Machine contains a set of profiles. 7.1. PANORAMIC PROFILES: There are eight panoramic profiles available: from P1 to P6, P17 and P23: Program Description Standard Panoramic: This exposure constant vertical magnification of the dental arch region,...
Page 26
Child Panoramic Exposure: This exposure has a 15% size reduction with respect to the standard panoramic profile. Bitewing Exposure: This exposure is a bitewing-like image profile from premolar and molar area including parts of maxilla, mandible and rami. Improved Orthogonally Bitewing: This exposure is the bitewing-like image profile optimized for the beam to be more orthogonal in respect to the dental arch.
7.2. CEPHALOMETRIC PROFILES: Digital Cephalometric profile: With this profile it is possible to execute the following digital images: PA: Posterior-Anterior AP: Anterior-Posterior 45º Degrees Lateral Carpal Low Dosage Digital Cephalometric profile: With this profile it is possible to execute a lateral ceph with a smaller exposure area resulting in a lower dose to the patient.
8. CONTROL PANEL 8.1. INTRODUCTION The equipment has a control panel with six buttons and an LCD display as follows: The LCD display is graphical and has important information of the current status of the machine to help the user operate the unit. The keys have multiple functionality depending on the current state of the machine.
8.2. CONTROL PANEL KEYS The controls are shown and their functions on the main screen are shown below: Plus Key: Used to increase kV, select patient age (child and adult), size (small, medium and large) and radiography type (i.e. standard panoramic and low dosage).
8.3. CONTROL PANEL INDICATING LIGHTS Exposure-Signaling LED: The LED at the center of the symbol will light up during x-ray exposure. An audible warning will also sound. 8.4. REMOTE EXPOSURE SWITCH (OPTIONAL) A remote exposure switch installed outside of the radiation exposure room is available upon request or as required by state or country.

9.2. DIGITAL FIXED SENSOR CONFIGURATION CHANGING FOR PANORAMIC OR CEPHALOMETRIC MODE In order to change from Panoramic to Cephalometric mode, pull the locking button close to the panoramic sensor in C-arm. The equipment will automatically change the configuration to Cephalometric mode. In order to change from Cephalometric to Panoramic mode, push the locking button close to the panoramic sensor in C-arm.
9.3. BEFORE POSITIONING THE PATIENT Ask the patient to remove any glasses, hearing aids, dentures, and personal jewelry such as earrings, necklaces, and hairpins. If required, place a protective lead apron over the patient’s body. Always follow local regulation. 9.4. GETTING THE SOFTWARE READY Open the Imaging software and press New Exposure.
10. PANORAMIC EXPOSURES This section uses operation concepts described on previous sections. Please refer to those sections when needed. This procedure will produce a full size panoramic exposure. If the child program is selected, the width and height of the exposed area will be slightly reduced. For this procedure it is necessary to use a chin rest.
Before positioning the patient, completely open the head support. Select the required panoramic profile (from P1 to P23). Select the correct exposure parameters in accordance with the patient characteristics. The table below gives the suggested parameters. Please use these values as a reference only.
Page 45
For a patient without teeth use the specific chin rest that doesn´t have a bite guide. Ask patient to lean his/her chin against it. Press the laser key to operate the patient positioning laser lights in order to assist with proper patient positioning. The laser diodes will automatically switch off after a period of time, or if the exposure button has been pressed.
10.3. TAKING A PANORAMIC EXPOSURE When "Ready to Expose" is shown on the display the system is ready to take an exposure. Ask the patient to close their lips on the bite guide, swallow, place their tongue flat against the roof of their mouth, breathe normally, and stand as still as possible. Move to a protected area without losing direct eye contact to the patient.
Page 47
FOR TMJ TMJ PROFILE, P2, IS A DOUBLE EXPOSURE. AFTER THE FIRST EXPOSURE, POSITION THE PATIENT WITH OPEN MOUTH AND PROFILE (P2) PROCEED WITH THE SECOND EXPOSURE. ONLY The machine will enter a cool down process to setup for the next exposure. The display will indicate the status of the machine.
11. CEPHALOMETRIC EXPOSURE This section will occasionally use procedures described in previous sections. Please refer to those sections when needed. This procedure will produce a cephalometric exposure as selected: Waters PA Lateral Basal-Hirtz axial 45 degrees Carpal BEFORE START, OPEN THE HEAD POSITIONER AND REMOVE THE CHIN REST AND BITE GUIDE FROM THE PATIENT SUPPORT.
11.2. POSITIONING THE PATIENT Guide the patient to the unit in front of the ceph arm rest. Adjust the height of the unit using the UP and DOWN keys on the control panel or ceph head as necessary. Ask the patient to step forward and hold still while you prepare the ceph head. Rotate the ceph head into the desired position (PA,AP, WATERS PA, CARPAL, BASAL-HIRTZ AXIAL, LATERAL OR 45 DEGREE).
Page 50
The machine will enter a cool down process to setup for the next exposure. The display will indicate the status of the machine. Cool down time will vary based on the type of exposure taken last. For digital machines you may save the image as required using the File/Save menu in the software.
