Development of a Proper Technique to Avoid Repeat Radiography with Proper Instructions and Positioning
The calibre of a radiographic image affects the diagnostic process’ accuracy. The goal of radiology is to obtain images that are suitable for clinical use while exposing the patient to the least amount of radiation possible. Image quality must be compared to patient dose in order to achieve peak performance. In the study, patients of all ages and of both sexes had their radiographic exams repeated. There were 40 patients in all. The overall data was gathered every day. Patients whose radiographic scans had to be repeated between October 1, 2018, and March 30, 2019, along with demographic data and the reason why were collected as primary data. The total number of computed repeat radiographs was 40 in less than a year. Repeat examinations were largely for the upper extremities, the abdomen, the pelvis, the cervical spine, the lumbar spine, and the 11 radiographs of the chest. Foreign items were most commonly found in the Lower Extremities 4, and the Skull 2 in females. main source of repeated chest X-rays Either they refused to take it down or, in deceived the radiographer into thinking that all jewellery and internal organs in several instances Metal-clipped clothing had been taken off before entering the hospital. when they hadn’t, gown. As a result of the inability of the radiographer, repeat happened as a result of incorrect marker placement, faulty collimation and the wrong exposure factor. nearly all radiographs Repetition was seen throughout the busiest time of the day, usually in the morning.
