Axial and sagittal alignment lights help position the area of interest at isocenter.
Step-by-step instructions
Press the Alignment light button on the Magnet control panel.
CAUTION
Exposing eyes to laser alignment lights may result in eye injury.
Do not stare directly into the laser beam.
Instruct patients to close their eyes to avoid eye exposure to the alignment light.
Closely monitor all patients and prevent them from accidentally staring into the beam. Do not leave the laser beam on after you position the patient.
Press the table movement buttons to advance the cradle until the axial alignment light rests at the desired landmark. Confirm centering with the sagittal alignment light.
Press Landmark button from the Magnet control panel. The cradle position reads zero.
Make sure all health lines are long enough to accommodate movement and then press Advance to Scan to move the cradle to magnet isocenter.
