X-ray were discovered on November 8, 1895, by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. Almost immediately these new ‘rays’ were recognized for their amazing ability to penetrate the human body and demonstrate the skeletal system and other internal structures. From its primitive beginning, diagnostic imaging has undergone numerous changes in the methods of imaging, the methods of developing, method of image display, and the methods of storing the image. However, there has been little change in the patient positioning aspect of diagnostic radiography.
Regardless of the technology used, proper patient positioning is critical. These modules will review important imaging aspects including effective communication skills, the importance of standard precaution, ALARA, pre and post patient instructions and the essential image positioning and image critique skills needed to create quality radiographs. Part 1 reviews imaging of the shoulder girdle through humerus. Part 2 reviews imaging the elbow through fingers.
