Patient Positioning

Getting prepared
1. Let the patient remove all the metal objects (glasses, earrings, hair pins, braces,
false teeth, etc.). Metal objects may induce ghost images and lower the image quality.
2. Have the patient wear a lead apron to protect themselves from residual radiation.
3. Use the Column UP/DOWN button or switch option to adjust the equipment to match
the height of the patient.

Have patients (especially pregnant women and children)

wear a lead apron to protect themselves from residual
radiation.
Be careful not to shine the laser beam directly into the

person's eyes. Doing so may result in vision loss.
Correct posture reduces the shadow casted by the

patient's cervical spine and allows clear image
acquisition.
Metal implants or bridges may reduce the quality of the

images.
Be sure to adjust laser beam correctly. Otherwise, the

quality of images can be lower due to ghost images or
expansion / reduction of the images.
In general, imaging is performed with the patient in an

upright position. However, a stool may be used for
imaging patients with special circumstances. If a stool is
used, ensure that the beams and movement of unit are
not obstructed by the stool.
