Image #18 Positioning: All pertinent anatomy is included CR is directed too high Hips and knees are sufficiently flexed Rotation to the left is present

Image #19 Fuji S-Value: 455 Range: 100-400 (no adjustment needed) Under 100 Over-exposed (- Technique)  Over 400 Under-exposed (+ Technique) To make image optimal I will: Move the CR posterior Increase technique Decrease technique Place lead anatomical marker anterior within light field

Image #18 What projection/position does this represent?

Image #20  L5-S1 Spot To make image optimal I will: Move the CR down to proper point Position spine parallel to IR Place lead markers in light field Modify/ use tube angle

Image #1  AP Foot Fuji S-Value: 220 Range: 75-200 (no adjustment needed) Under 75 Over-exposed (- Technique)  Over 200 Under-exposed (+ Technique) To make image optimal I will: Increase medial (internal) rotation Increase lateral (external) rotation Increase technique Extend toes to open critical joint spaces

Image #4  AP Ankle To make image optimal I will: Increase medial (internal) rotation Increase the collimation (cone down) Remove internal artifacts Increase flexion of ankle

Image #16 Fuji S-Value: 311 Range: 100-400 (no adjustment needed) Under 100 Over-exposed (- Technique)  Over 400 Under-exposed (+ Technique) To make image optimal I will: Lower the CR Increase technique Correct the rotation/tilt (to be optimal) Remove external artifacts (to be optimal)

Image #15 What projection/position does this image represent? 

Image #17 Positioning: All pertinent anatomy is included CR is directed too low (inferior) Skull is over-extended Minimal rotation is present

Image #14  Frog-leg Hip To make image optimal I will: Increase abduction of femoral shaft Decrease abduction of femoral shaft Move the CR down (inferior) to the proper point Place anatomical marker outside of bony anatomy
