X5 2D/3D • Vertical alignment Slightly loosen the following screws (F, G, H, I). Correct the vertical alignment manually; tighten the screws, select “Image not centred” and press “ok”. Repeat the procedure until a vertically-centred image is obtained. When the image is perfectly centred, select “Image centred”...
X5 2D/3D SENSOR CALIBRATION CHECK Press “Start procedure” and make sure that any object between source and sensor has been removed. The procedure is automatic; just press the X-ray but- ton when required; at the end, save the data.
X5 2D/3D VERIFYING THE MECHANICAL CENTERING Remove bite, chinrest and aluminium filter and posi- tion the calibration phantom as shown in the figure. Click on “Acquire”. The calibration tool will acquire a complete panora- mic image and will display it; make sure that the fo- cus is centred with respect to the series of circles in the middle of the image, i.e.

X5 2D/3D To correct the positioning of the vertical line, adjust the highlighted grub screws and screws (placed in the lower part of the kinematic mechanism – remove the accessory drawer to see them). If the image obtained is similar to the following one, adjust the left-hand screw and grub screw;...

X5 2D/3D Press the rays button when prompted; the system makes a complete tin acquisition, then it will automati- cally open the “Tin Report” with the results. Make sure that none of the reported values has aste- risks; should this not be the case, check tin position and repeat the procedure.
X5 2D/3D QA PHANTOM ACQUISITION (OPTIONAL) From NNT main menu, select “scan” and “QA Phan- tom scan” Position phantom on the octagonal plate, as shown in the figure (positioning is not that important, as it has a central symmetry).
