7. Tell the patient to remove their glasses, hearing aids, removable dentures, jewellery,
hair clips and all other things that can cause artifacts to the image.
8. Protect the patient from radiation according to the local regulations, for example with
a lead apron and a thyroid shield.
9. Guide the patient to the device and instruct to stand as straight and as tall as
possible.
10. Tell the patient to hold the patient handles, place their chin on the Chin Rest and to
bite the notches on the Bite Block or to push their lip against the Lip Support if it is
used.
CAUTION! Evaluate the condition of the patient's dentition before using
the Bite Block. If the patient's teeth are more fragile than a normal healthy
patient's, use the Lip Support and a cotton roll between the front teeth
instead.
NOTICE! If the patient has wide shoulders that could collide with the rotating
unit, ask the patient to cross their arms when holding the handles in order to
contract the shoulders.
11. Ask the patient to take a step forward to straighten their spine.
12. Fine adjust the device's height and adjust patient's head position/orientation using
the patient positioning lights as guides.
NOTICE! To ensure optimal image quality, pay attention to the correct
patient positioning.
NOTICE! You can open the mirror and use it to help in positioning the
patient. Close the mirror before you start the imaging.
STANDARD AND PEDIATRIC PANORAMIC IMAGING:
• Align the patient so that the root tips of lower and upper incisors are vertically
on the same level and parallel to the Tilt light. The ORTHOfocus
automatically determines the optimum panoramic image layer, enabling forgiving
patient positioning.
