Selecting Image Orientation

When selecting the orientation of an image, you have the option to mask rotated images to keep the image squared in the frame after rotation.

You can select one of the following orientation views:

• None:No orientation is used. The x-ray image and the photo image are both viewed as captured.

• X-ray Position:The profile photo image is rotated to match the x-ray image based on the soft tissue nasion and the soft tissue A point.

• Natural Head Position:The x-ray image is aligned with the photo image based on the soft tissue nasion and the soft tissue A point.

• Frankfort Horizontal:The x-ray image is rotated so the Frankfort horizontal is horizontal. The profile photo image is rotated to match the rotated x-ray image based on the soft tissue nasion and the soft tissue A point.

To select the orientation of an image:

1. Select an image to perform treatment planning and view the x-ray image or the photo image where you want to change the orientation.

2. Right-click on the image and select View > Orientation.

3. Select the type of orientation you want to use.

4. Select Mask Rotated Images to have the image fill the frame after rotation.

5. Click OK.
