Some Axial Head Holders have a large free-play in the horizontal direction which could
potentially lead to motion and therefore image artifacts.
Installation of the 2327335 rubber shim kit can minimize this motion.
While selecting the best shim size, do not attach the rubber shim yet using the adhesive on the
back. It is best to use a piece of tape to hold on the shim in order to see if the size is correct.
Selecting a shim size that is too thick may result in:
- Difficulty latching the head holder properly. The head holder must latch so that a patient
is not injured.
