Identify the name of proj
Direction (Left/right) ___ View
What areas of anatomy are visualised? Image criteria for optimal image
Entire region windowed well - including the (list the anatomy). The proj assesses the
Marker use
- A phys/PP marker was used
- Superolateral to the anatomy and does not obscure it
- ideally a phys marker would be used
- correct for anatomical side and falls within the collimated field
Centring point
The centering point of this image is at ____. The __ is medial to the humeral head and inferior to the AC joint. This is appropriate
centering for this projection. The correct centering allows for all the relevant surrounding anatomy to be included.
Exposure
The exposure is ___. The image appears to be slightly
overexposed as there is some noise artefact and loss of sharp bony detail on the image.
The soft tissue skin border appears to be burnt out superior to the AC joint. However,
the outlines of the bone and bony trabecular pattern can still be visualised.
Approximate exposure: 70+-5kvp and 12.5-16mAs
Exposure criteria
State Approx exposure
optimal/suboptimal
justify why? - trabecular markings
Anatomy positioning
Yes, I would confirm that the anatomy is positioned quite well. The ribs are not superimposing the anatomy. Good distance bw smth, indic of good tube angle.
Pathology q
There is a pathology present - ________
Is Image acceptable to send off to pacs?
Yes, based on the pathology, I would/not send off the image as it demonstrates the extent of the path and the required anatomy. To improve, I would increase/decrease exp, but I would not do a repeat of this xray as pt is in pain.
