Image #7  Sternum Positioning All pertinent anatomy is included CR is directed slightly medial to the proper point Over rotation is present Ribs and lung markings adequately blurred

Image #10  Lower Ribs To make image optimal I will: Increase rotation of body Open collimation to include anatomy of interest Move the CR down to proper point Place lead markers in hip area within collimated light field

Image #3  Upper Ribs Fuji S-Value: 367 Range: 200-600 (no adjustment needed) Under 200 Over-exposed (- Technique)  Over 600 Under-exposed (+ Technique) To make image optimal I will: Increase the obliquity Increase collimation (cone down) Move the CR medially to proper point Decrease the technique

Image #1  Upper Ribs Positioning All pertinent anatomy is included CR is directed slightly above the proper point Inspiration is adequate Anatomy is aligned to the light field

Image #3  Upper Ribs Positioning: There is sufficient collimation Over obliquity is present Under obliquity is present There is insufficient collimation

Image #7  Sternum Positioning: There is insufficient collimation Adequate rotation is present Under rotation is present External artifacts are present

Image #6  Upper Ribs To make image optimal I will: Increase inspiration Use lead anatomical marker within light field Direct CR to proper point Increase collimation (cone down)

Image #7  Sternum What position does this image represent?

Image #6  Upper Ribs Positioning: There is insufficient collimation Over rotation is present Under rotation is present Insufficient orthostatic-breathing technique utilized
