• If you take two horizontal image volumes, the patient's left side is
imaged first and the right side last.
• If you take one image volume and a 3D face photo, the X-ray image
is taken first and the photo last. You hear a fast ticking sound when
the photo is taken.
• Planmeca ProMax 3D Mid X-ray units:
If you take two vertical image volumes and a 3D face photo, the
photo is taken between the X-ray images. You hear a fast ticking
sound when the photo is taken and a warning tone when the C- arm
moves up.
• If you take two horizontal image volumes and a 3D face photo, the
photo is taken last. You hear a fast ticking sound when the photo is
taken.
NOTE
Do not release the exposure button before the end of the last exposure.
NOTE
Maintain audio and visual contact with the patient and X-ray unit during
exposure. If the C-arm stops moving during exposure, or moves in an
erratic way, release the exposure button immediately.
6. The image is shown on the computer screen.
• The image processing time depends on the selected settings. For
example, if you selected the ULD (Ultra Low Dose) function, you
have to wait longer before the image appears.
• If you took two image volumes, you must accept the image stitching
function in the Planmeca Romexis program.
7. Remove the fastening straps (if used). Release the patient from the head
support by turning the adjusting knob at the top.
