Patient Positioning - VATECH Green16 Handbuch

Patient Positioning

Getting prepared
1. Let the patient remove all the metal objects (glasses, earrings, hairpins, braces, false
teeth, etc.). Metal objects may induce ghost images and lower the image quality.
2. Have the patient wear a lead apron to protect themselves from residual radiation.
3. Use the Column UP/DOWN button or switch option to adjust the equipment to match
the height of the patient.
Green16 (PHT-65LHS) User Manual
Have patients (especially pregnant women and children) wear a

lead apron to protect themselves from residual radiation.
Be careful not to shine the laser beam directly into the person's

eyes. Doing so may result in vision loss.
Correct posture reduces the shadow cast by the patient's cervical

spine and allows clear image acquisition.
Metal implants or bridges may reduce the quality of the images.

Be sure to adjust the laser beam correctly. Otherwise, the quality

of images can be lower due to ghost images or
expansion/reduction of the images.
