4. Using the x-ray unit
4.1 Position of the patient
A positioner or alignment device specific for the selected image receiver should always be used to assure the x-rays are correctly aligned regardless
of the position the patient's head is in.
4.2. Positioning the x-ray head
Position the x-ray head so that the cone is aligned with the image receiver.
4.2.1. Hypersphere technology
Hypersphere technology allows the x-ray head to turn endlessly on both the horizontal and vertical planes.
The x-ray head is initially blocked by an electromechanical brake.
The head can be tilted into the position required to take the x-ray by touching the unlock areas. To lock it again, release the unlock areas.
NOTE: Firmly hold the head with both hands when putting it in place.
It is possible to set a safety unlocking mode that allows the head to be turned only by pressing both unlock buttons. This prevents the head from
unlocking unexpectedly after one of the two unlock buttons has been accidentally pressed. To activate this mode, refer to "Advanced options" in
chapter 5.
