  ACQUIRING CEPHALOMETRIC IMAGES

Preparing and Positioning the Pediatric Patient

To prepare and position the pediatric patient, follow these steps:

1. Ask the pediatric patient to remove all metal objects.

2. Ask the pediatric patient to wear a lead apron with a thyroid collar. Ensure that the 

apron lays flat across the pediatric patient’s shoulders. 

3. Open the head clamps and ask the pediatric patient to stand up straight in front of the 

cephalometric unit, in the appropriate position.

4. On the control panel, press and hold 

 to level the ear cones to the pediatric 

patient’s auditory canals.

5. Insert gently one cone in the auditory canal of the pediatric patient. Turn gently the 

button to close the arms. Insert gently the second cone in the auditory canal of the 
pediatric patient.

6. Lower the nasion support to a vertical position.
