You have taken an x-ray and the doctor has told you that it should be repeated. 1. Name two reasons why an x-ray might be repeated. 2. What implications could this repetition have for your security? 3. Although both you and the patient will be exposed to radiation once more, why would this repetition be more dangerous to you than to the patient? 4. The x-ray was very dark and is overpenetrated, how would you adjust the exposure factors when doing a repeat of this x-ray? 5. How might scattered radiation have affected this radiograph?
