Standard Operating Procedures
Radiology
1. PURPOSE: a. To provide maximum quality radiographs in an efficient amount of time. b. To establish responsibilities, procedures, policies, and techniques which prevent excessive radiation exposure to patients and staff. c. To set guidelines to be followed for checking radiology systems performance and maintaining optimum image quality and equipment safety for the technologist who operate these systems and the patients as well. 2. SCOPE:
This SOP is applicable to all personnel assigned to 4th Division, 3rd Brigade, 64th Brigade Support Battalion, and all Physicians Assistants (PAs) attached. 3. RESPONSIBILITIES: d. NCOs: i. Responsible for

5. Terminology: o. AP, PA, Lateral xii. Anterior-Posterior (AP)- radiographs that are taken with the patient facing the x-ray tube. So that the x-ray beam enters their anterior side, and exits posteriorly. xiii. Posterior-Anterior (PA)- radiographs that are taken with the patient facing away from the x-ray tube. So that the x-ray beam enters their posterior side, and exits anteriorly. xiv. Lateral (LAT)- radiographs that are taken while the patient stands sideways to the x-ray tube. They can be done with either the patients left or right side next to the film. Left lateral x-rays are done with the patients left side against the film, Right laterals are done with the patients right side against the film. xv. Oblique- radiographs that are taken halfway between AP or PA and LAT. The patient will be rotated about 45 degrees from lateral or frontal. 1. Left Oblique- Patients left side is
Q.2 :- Why did the physician order lateral chest films in addition to PA chest films?
Response: since the AP clavicle and AP axial do not require much movement both projection can be taken with minimal positioning modification. The image was taken without placing the arms on the sides. Both shoulder were position at equal distances from the IR and the mid coronal plane straight and align parallel to the IR.
Chest radiography examination is a most common procedure to be performed in clinical practice. Chest radiography play an important role in diagnosis. A standard x-ray are performed with the patient standing facing a cassette and SID should be at 72 inches. When taking a chest radiographs in PA view, ensure that the patient is standing evenly on both feet and chin raised. Rotate the shoulder forward against the image receptor and exposure should be made at the end of second full inspiration. Centered CR to midsagittal plane at level of T7 below vertebra prominens an collimate on four sides to area of lung fields. Positioning and use of the correct technical factors has a significant influence on the appearance of air, fluid and blood vessel
This revised written estimate, that is stated under: 49 CFR 375.403(a)(5)(ii) and 375.405(b)(7)(ii), is only valid if fully performed earlier than any work starts off evolved. Packing
The team reviewed the process of the intervention methods. As a result the team had
In this paper, I will be discussing what the advantages and the disadvantages of Digital Radiography in Diagnostic Radiology. Further more present factors with each subject showing how they are distinguished as an advantage and an disadvantage. Time, money, and radiation dosage to the patient are very important factors these days because of how many different regulations there are and the concerns for the patient as well. Digital Radiography also known as DR is static images produced with a fan x-ray beam intercepted by a linear array of radiation detectors or an area x-ray beam intercepted by a photostimulable phosphor plate or direct-capture solid-state device.
The Responsible Person may allocate tasks to others such as a RSO or consulting radiation expert whose role is to ensure that all obligatory shielding are provided to reduce the radiation exposure of employees in the episode of a radiation incident and perform measurement to validate radiation safety as these incidents may increase the radiation exposure to a health care

They assess this to determine how much additional debt you can take on, i.e., the front end. Ideally, it shouldn 't be more than .28 or 28%.

This result was derived from all the sources, but we have not quantified what applying this statewide would get, but, I’m assuming pretty small.
To avert radiation contamination, the operators periodically undertake radiation protection practices, such as radiation mapping and contamination checks. They also supervise the use and storage of contamination control instrumentation (IAEA-a p.79).
