5.4.6. TELERADIOGRAPHIC (CEPH) EXAMINATIONS
Teleradiographic examinations can be performed only if the system is equipped with a tele-X-ray arm with relative
cephalostat. For these examinations the patient generally remains standing. For very tall or very short patients or in a
wheelchair, the examinations may be performed with the patient sitting down.
If a chair is used, make sure that the backrest or armrests do not obstruct proper movement of the device.
4) Have the patient access the cephalostat. The patient must stand with his or her back straight and staring at the
horizon.
5) Close the earpieces in such a way that they slip slightly into the auditory meatuses being careful not to cause
discomfort.
8) For ceph lateral examinations, it is possible to enable the shoulder anti-collision option if the patient anatomy
requires it.
The icon changes status as shown:

9) Press the CONFIRM button and just before leaving the room to press the X-ray emission button, ask the patient to
close his or her eyes, clench the teeth and keep the lips relaxed.
