Rx orientation

Hi, is it possible to orient the lateral Rx based on a lateral photo taken in NHP (natural head position)

Dear doctor. Thank you for your question. Since NHP(Natural head position) usually refers to the patient's natural head posture looking straight ahead during X-ray taking, the images taken from an X-ray machine can be considered NHP. If your question is how to align the X-ray by FH plane, there is a function for that in the Analysis tab. In the Analysis tab, on the right control panel, there is a toggle button called 'Align to FH'. When you press this button, the basic settings for cephalo analysis will be realigned to the X-ray based on the FH plane and the analysis will be performed. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.

Thank you for the reply. Most of the time the x-ray taken by radiologists are not in NHP because they align arbitrarily the patient. So I have to align the X-ray to my photo taken in NHP using overlapping and reducing opacity. I've seen other programs that have this tool.
