Panoramic Acquisition Interface Overview

The Panoramic Acquisition interface provides you with panoramic imaging acquisition functions.

Figure 6 Panoramic Acquisition Interface (depending on unit configuration)

IMPORTANT: R indicates that it corresponds to the right side of the patient who is facing the operator.

Program pane and Preview screen: Displays the choice of programs and enables you to choose different radiological exams.

Selected parameter display: Displays the current acquisition parameter settings:

2a: Patient type: Child, Adult (small, medium, large).
2b: Dental arch morphology: Normal, square, or sharp shaped.
2c: Imaging mode: Imaging mode that you can select before doing an exam (standard or low dose).

If a patient has previously been examined, the unit will detect it, and either one of the icons in 2a and 2b will display in orange (not available for CS 8200 3D Access).

IMPORTANT: See the CS 8200 3D Family Safety, Regulatory, and Technical Specifications User Guide (SMA67) for information on radiation protection and recommendations when you select a patient type, especially the pediatric patient.

Exposure parameter panel: Enables you to choose and save exposure parameters for radiological image acquisitions.

Default acquisition presets (not available for CS 8200 3D Access): Enables you to select and set default parameters for radiological image acquisitions.

Parallel position button: Leaves more free space around the unit when it is not in use by placing the rotative arm in a parallel position to the unit head.

Reset button: Resets the unit to the patient-entry position to enable you to position a patient in the unit.

Demo: Enables you to demonstrate the acquisition procedures to a patient without the X-ray.

Patient height data (not available for CS 8200 3D Access): If a patient has previously been examined, the unit will detect it, and two of these icons will appear in orange. They will disappear when you use the positioning panel on the unit to adjust the height of the unit (up or down) to the previously recorded height of the patient.

Pop-up of accessory and patient head position: Will display on the interface when you click to choose a radiological exam, to indicate which positioning accessory to use and how to position the patient's head.

Ready indicator:

Black indicates the unit is not ready to start acquisition.
Orange indicates the unit is preparing for acquisition.
Green indicates the unit is ready to start acquisition.

Warning: Indicates that you must consult the accompanying document.

Ionizing radiation:

Warns you about radiation dangers.
Blue indicates the X-ray is enabled.
Grey indicates the X-ray is not enabled.

Menu: Provides access to the following sub-menus: General Settings, 2D 3D kV/mA Reset to factory, About, Help. You can select the settings that you want as default settings for the acquisition interface. See Displaying User Preferences.
