Radiographic Examination Functions
- Radiographic examinations have 5 general functions
- Positioning body parts and aligning with IR and CR
- Applying radiation protection measures
- Selecting exposure factors
- Instructions to the patient regarding breathing and x-ray initiation
- Processing the image
Image Processing
- Film-based images use chemical processing (analog)
- Computer-based images use digital processing (digital)
Anatomical Position
- Anatomical position is a reference position
- Defines specific body surfaces and planes
- The body is upright
- Arms are slightly abducted (away from body), hands by side, palms forward
- Head and feet are together, directed forward
