PANORAMIC BEAM AND PATIENT POSITIONING
MECHANISM ADJUSTMENT
2.6.2 Adjustment in ball phantom's y-direction
Remove the alignment pin from the elbow joint and manually position the C-arm as shown in
Fig. 35 below (C-arm parallel with the patient support table). Slide the alignment pin through
the hole in the elbow joint so that it goes into the positioning hole in the C-arm.
Figure 35
In case there is clearance either in shoulder joint or in elbow joint or both (i.e. one or more
arms can move even if the pins are in position), the adjustment may be unsuccessful if you do
not push the arms to the same direction as far as they move.
For example: first push the shoulder arm to the right, then the elbow arm and finally the C-
arm. IMPORTANT: Do not push any of the arms to opposite direction from the others.
