CBCT examination chair 70042

manualheight-adjustablewith adjustable backrest

The VELA CBCT Chair supports stable, precise patient positioning for high-quality CBCT scans – critical given that measurable head movement occurs in 24% of 412 observed examinations, often from brief, involuntary postural sway.

• Supports safe and stable patient positioning during CBCT scanning, with a stable seat, supportive armrests and footrest that help the patient remain still and minimize the risk of motion artefacts.

• Helps reduce manual handling when positioning patients with easy-rolling wheels .

• Provides a stable and secure position during imaging with a locking chair base.

• Allows precise alignment with the CBCT equipment while the patient remains seated through electric height adjustment. 

• Supports easier sideways transfers with foldable armrests, which also allow extra seat width for patients who need it.

• Supports safer sitting down and standing up with the supportive armrests, and lockable centrally braked castors for a stable chair base.

CBCT chair for stable patient positioning
A CBCT scan typically takes around 10-40 seconds and during that time, the patient needs to remain as still as possible. This can be more difficult than it sounds.

Patient movement can affect CBCT imaging
Even when we try our best to stand still, the body makes small, involuntary movements to maintain balance. These natural movements are often referred to as postural sway.

During CBCT imaging, patient movement may affect image quality and can make diagnostic assessment and treatment planning more challenging.

A stable seated position during CBCT scans
Many CBCT examinations are performed with the patient standing or seated on a conventional stool or office chair. For patients with reduced mobility, impaired balance or other physical limitations, maintaining a stable position throughout the scan can be especially demanding. Age may also influence postural stability, particularly when standing.

Adapt the position to the individual patient
With stable seating and adjustable support, the VELA CBCT Chair helps healthcare professionals adapt the examination setup to the individual patient’s physical capabilities. For patients who find standing difficult, being securely and comfortably seated during the examination can create better conditions for maintaining a stable position throughout the scan.
