Influence of Technique on Chest X-ray
Session Overview
Description
This session looks at the technical evaluation of chest radiographs in children.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Recognise the appearance of normal chest radiographs in neonates, infants and children
- List the technical factors that contribute to good quality chest radiographs
- Demonstrate the limitations of suboptimal chest radiographs
- Recognise when repeat radiography is required
Prerequisites
Before commencing this session you should have a knowledge of:
- The anatomy of the thorax
- The appearances of the normal chest radiograph in infants and children
- The basic physics of radiographic image production
The optimal interpretation of paediatric chest radiographs requires the best quality images possible. Acquiring these in infants and young children can be a radiographic challenge.
Factors such as exposure, rotation and the degree of inspiration can have a dramatic effect on image quality. It is important to recognise both technically good and sub-optimal films, so that the limitations of any image are appreciated.
This session will review:
- The appearances and technical factors that contribute to the normal chest radiograph
- Examples of how various technical factors may compromise image quality
- Artefacts that are commonly seen
