Using the CS 9300 Unit with a Cephalostat > Acquiring Lateral Images
Before acquiring each image, make sure that you have:
Selected the patient record.
Accessed the Imaging window.
Accessed the Acquisition interface.
Positioned the patient correctly.
To acquire an image:
Leave the x-ray room and close the door. You must keep visual contact with the patient during acquisition.
Important: To stop the acquisition in an emergency, release the exposure button on the remote control or press the red emergency stop button.
Launch the x-ray with the remote control. Press and hold the exposure button until the end of acquisition. The Ready Indicator turns yellow, indicating x-ray transmission. The image is displayed in the Preview window of the Cephalometric Acquisition interface.
When the acquisition ends, the Cephalometric Acquisition window disappears, and the image is transferred to the Imaging window.
Check the image quality. If satisfactory, remove the ear cones and the nasion support and release the patient from the unit.
