Study Notes

PACEMAN Method

PACEMAN stands for Positioning, Angulation, Columnation, Exposure, Motivation, and Annotation.
The purpose of the PACEMAN method is to evaluate radiographic images.

Image Evaluation

'C' in the PACEMAN method stands for Columnation, which is crucial for controlling the density of the X-ray image.
'mAs' in the PACEMAN method is significant for controlling the exposure of the X-ray image.

Hand Projections

The positioning criteria for the Hand PA Projection according to the PACEMAN method is that the palmar surface of the hand should be at a 90-degree angle to the cassette.
The Hand PA Projection detects rotation if the third metacarpal bone is parallel to the radiographic plate.
On the radiograph in the Hand Oblique Projection, the entire thumb should be visible, and the first metacarpal bone should be parallel to the radiographic plate.
A positioning criteria for the Hand Oblique Projection based on the PACEMAN method is that the X-ray beam should be angled 45 degrees to the medial aspect of the hand.

Medical Engineering

The main purpose of the PACEMAN method in medical engineering is to ensure accurate and high-quality radiographic images.
