MEETING DESCRIPTION:
The Good, Bad, and the Ugly - Pass or Repeat?
Do you think this radiograph should be repeated? When this question is asked, the answer is usually a resounding YES! Knowing what radiologists look for and how to avoid the common pitfalls that cause repeats is the key to working smarter, not harder. This course describes methods for improving radiographic quality and demonstrates how to successfully critique films and identify common errors. JCAHO compliance is just the first step toward the fast approaching voluntary accreditation for both diagnostic imaging and fluoroscopy. Implementing the information learned at this presentation will help you prepare for future accreditation.
