General instructions for use
6.6.1 Getting started
Press key "19
to select the Biaxial TMJ examination.
The following configuration is automatically set:
• ADULT : the upper led of key "11" lights up
• MEDIUM SIZE: the central led of key "12" lights up
• MEDIUM ARCH: the central led of key "13" lights up
• Biaxial TMJ: the LED of key "19" lights up
LED "23" lights up and the display shows the default exposure
parameters if this is the first Biaxial TMJ exposure made, or the exposure
parameters (kV and mA) used in the last exposure. For example:
7 4 k V 1 0 m A 1 0 . 5 s
Once the machine has been set, place the standard chin support in
position if it had been previously removed (see notes in paragraph 6.3).
NOTE:
STRATO X is based on a dentition and ascending rami shape as defined
by U. Welander et al., Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, 1989, Vol. 18, May.
This paper, based on statistic study, enstabilishes a form for the the
dentomaxillofacial complex that it is assumed as "standard". A projection
geometry that maintains a constant magnification of 1.23 throughout the
exposure of this shape has been applied to the STRATO X. Patient’s
anatomy can differ in a significant way from the statistical model, so the
magnification factor is not maintained and can be different from that
value. Based on his experience and competence, the user has to judge
this variation.
IN ANY CASE, THE TMJ RADIOGRAPHY CANNOT BE USED TO
PERFORM CALCULATIONS OF DISTANCES, ANGLES ETC. ON THE
FILM.
