CLO 6: Apply a process for evaluating images for acceptable limits of distortion, image artifacts, radiation fog, noise and gross exposure error

  1. Was the correct SID used?
  2. Does the projection demonstrate the least possible amount of size distortion?
  3. Does the projection demonstrate undesirable shape distortion?
  4. Was the part positioned with the least amount of OID possible?
  5. Does the projection demonstrate signs of undesirable patient motion or respiration?
  6. Are there anatomic artifacts demonstrated?
  7. Was scatter controlled with grids/collimation?
  8. Does the projection demonstrate quantum noise?
  9. Is there a decrease in contrast and detail visibility caused by fogging?
  10. Is the exposure indicator within the acceptable range for this system?
