was changed:
There are two main types of radiography article.
Radiographic series
These articles describe the set of projections that make up a series that might be requested by a clinician, e.g. they would request a wrist X-ray, to get a PA and lateral view, together these are termed the series.
Each article should begin with a brief introductory sentence/paragraph, followed by the a number of standard subheadings:
- Indications
- Projections
- standard projections
- modified trauma projections
- additional projections
Examples
Radiographic view
These articles describe a specific projectional view that is obtained as part of a radiographic series.
Each article should begin with a brief introductory sentence/paragraph, followed by the a number of standard subheadings:
- Patient position (heading 4)
- Technical factors (heading 4)
- PA/AP
- Centring point using anatomical landmarks
- Collimation using anatomical landmarks
- Orientation (Portrait/landscape)
- Detector size - Although most places are going digital and have digital detectors now. Giving the basic film size will still help those who have CR. It also gives people a good idea of collimation factors i.e. 35 x 43 cm
- Exposure (kVp/mAs)
- FFD/SID
- Grid (Yes/No)
- Image technical evaluation: how to tell if the view is adequate
- Practical points
