There are two TMJ sub modes: TMJ Open and TMJ Close. Scan a TMJ Open
image first and then scan a TMJ Close image. To prepare and position the
patient, follow the process outlined below.

appearance of the cervical spine in the image.
NOTE
- For a child with a large head circumference, Man/Woman
mode may be selected instead of Child.
