Prepare the examination

In the examination room, position the patient and specify the region of

the height of the radiographic table to its lowest position.
2. Position the patient on the radiographic table relative to the FLFS
Horizontal Overlay and make sure that the region of interest for the
planned examination is within the range of the overlay.
3. Move the tabletop longitudinally and make sure that the region of interest
is within the travel area of the DR bucky.
4. Enter the values for the region of interest by using the up and down arrows
