Dental CT
• It is mandatory to position the patient head in the
center of the scan field – use the lateral laser light
marker for positioning.
• Gantry tilt is not necessary since you have the pos-
sibility to tilt the reference line to generate an axial
reformatted image at the desired plane. However,
in order to minimize the scan length for the same
anatomical region, it is recommended to position the
patient’s head at the appropriate scan plane when-
ever possible:
– For the upper and lower jaw:
occlusal plane in parallel to the scan plane.
– For either jaw:
jaw bone in parallel to the scan plane.
• It is recommended to end the exam first, and then
start the Dental evaluation.
