What must an x-ray user do to achieve good, consistent radiographs?
To achieve good radiographs, the equipment must be used properly and consistently. The correct body part and patient size is selected prior to exposure. • SID is confirmed, as the position of the x-ray tube must change between table top and grid cabinet exposures. • Placement of cassette (on table top or inside grid cabinet) is consistent with APR console display recommendations. • Exposure factors are very different when the grid is in the beam.
