Scan Gauge Scan Tips & Tricks
Correct placement of Nexus Scan Gauges and scanning technique is critical to the success of the Nexus system.
PLACING GAUGES
Correct arrangement of Scan Gauges is critical to having a successful scan.
Close Proximity
Close proximity is the most important rule to follow when placing gauges.
Under 4mm is advised where possible.
Sufficient Overlap
Aim to have the sides of Scan Gauges overlap with the adjacent gauge.
Having the next gauge in the scanner field of view before moving to the next is necessary.
Ensure Gauge Is Seated
If the gauge is being obstructed by hard-tissue. Use the taller collar height.
Note: The greater the gap between gauge and tissue, the harder to capture accurate scans.
No Rotation
Ensure that the Scan Gauge and the MUA are completely seated and torqued. Gauges cannot move between the Left to Right and Right to Left scans.
Use Retractors
To attain correct scanning data, there must not be any interference with the scanner. This means no lip, tongue or cheek. Utilize retractors every scan to minimize interference.
SCANNING TIPS
Follow the scanning preparation and guidance to get the most accurate outcomes.
Scan In One Direction
When scanning, move in one direction across the arch. Do not move the scanner back onto previously scanned areas - This causes data corruption.
Zig-Zag to Capture All Information
While moving in one direction across the arch, zig-zag the scanner head to ensure all gauges are captured.
Tilt Scanner Head
In order to capture all of the 7 facets, gently tilt the scanner head - capturing underlying soft tissue can help the scanning process.
