User’s Manual (2D)
9.2.6 Selecting segmentation
The function allows you to take exposures of different jaw
segments. This will reduce the radiation dose of the
patient.
The illustration on the screen is divided into three
horizontal segments and five vertical segments. Select
the segments that should NOT be exposed. The
prohibition signs of these segments turn red.
NOTE
It is not possible to expose two separate horizontal
segments.
NOTE
The illustration on the screen is only an example. The
actual size of the exposed area depends on the patient’s
individual anatomy.
9.3 Patient positioning
9.3.1 Selecting patient entry position
Use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to select the
patient entry position.
•
Selecting
the left button will position the C-arm
around the patient support. This is the traditional
closed patient entry position.
•
Selecting the right button will move the C-arm to the
back, away from the patient positioning area. This full
view position allows you to monitor and adjust the
patient’s position freely from all directions.
