Positioning the Patient
Before Positioning the Patient
■ Ask the patient to remove all jewelry and metallic objects, such as earrings,
hair pins, spectacles, dentures, and orthodontic appliances. These items
may cause shadow images which could obscure diagnosis.
■ It is strongly recommended that the patient wear a lead apron for protection
against any possible scatter radiation.
■ Adjust the column height to the patient's height using the up/down button or
switch (optional).
