The Basics
Follow the steps below to take an X-ray using CDR. For additional details on acquiring
images (manual acquire and AutoTake), refer to Section 7.
STEP 1
Start CDR from the Windows Start button or by clicking on the desktop shortcut to CDR.
STEP 2
A. In the CDR exam window, click >
File > New, or click the New Exam
button.
B. In the Patient Information dialog
box, enter the appropriate
information and select the series.
C. Click OK.
STEP 3
A. Place the sensor in the holder, and then place the sheath over sensor and holder. Place
the sensor in the patient’s mouth with the flat side facing the X-ray tube.
B. Check the X-ray source exposure setting. The proper setting on the X-ray source
depends on several factors, among them, the type of tube, the anatomy of the patient,
and the location of the sensor in the oral cavity.
STEP 4

The first empty target frame is preselected and flashes green (default
setting). Skip ahead to Step 6.

matches the sensor’s location in the
patient’s mouth. When the frame is
highlighted, click on it again. If the
system is equipped with a footpedal,
