SECTION 6 (Continued)
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Position patient, utilizing body landmarks, to
achieve the best demonstration of the affected
body part by adjusting table, radiographic
and/or fluoroscopic equipment, and image
receptor using knowledge of anatomy, standard
radiographic positions and departmental
protocol.
To insure proper patient positioning during film
exposure, use immobilization devices when
indicated, to prevent patient movement
Give patient appropriate breathing
instructions(e.g. inspiration, expiration) prior to
making exposure
When indicated, take scout radiograph(s) on
trauma patients to determine the extent and
nature of injury, and whether injury will permit
standard examination procedures.
